Hello,
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.
In your case, it is important to know few details like
1. When did pain start? How is it progressing since then? Where exactly is the pain?
2. Do you have nausea or vomiting associated with it?
3. Do you have yellowish discoloration of skin, eye?
4. Are you passing pale colored stools?
Based on information provided you might be suffering from
a. Acid peptic disease or
b. infection of gall bladder.
You need to be further evaluated with blood investigations and Ultrasound scan of Abdomen for diagnosis.
My opinion is to consult your doctor for examination and treatment with antispasmodic medications.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Thank you,
Dr. Narasimha
