Brief Answer:
Cholecyst problems/acid reflux/gastritis rule out
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The pain you have in your left breast after eating is referring for possible:
- acid reflux
- cholecyst issues
The very first examinations advised include:
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy
- chest X-ray
- complete blood count
- liver/kidney/pancreas function test
If your doctor schedule for ERCP, then, this makes me think that problems with cholecyst have been detected (sludge, inflammation or stones) that should be further investigated.
All the best!
Let me know if I can be of further help!
