What Causes Chronic Dull Pain On Upper Right Quadrant?

Hello, I have been experiencing pain on my upper right quadrant for 2 years now. It s a chronic nagging dull pain that comes and goes but worsens when I drink alcohol or coffee. I tested negative for h. pylori but am nervous it s something worse than an ulcer. I don t have health insurance.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having something with liver.
There might be having possibility of having gall bladder stones.
Chronic gastritis or gastric ulcer should be ruled out as well.
Go for ultra sound abdomen for exact cause of your problem.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid spicy and junk food.
Meanwhile take omeprazole.
Ok and take care.

Hi.
Read and understood the history of pain in right upper quadrant for 2 years, a long time to suffer without any obvious diagnosis. Worsens on drinking alcohol or coffee. Negative for H. pylori.

With the history your have provided, this is not looking worse than an ulcer.
If possible go for an Upper GI endoscopy and follow the following treatment:
PPI like Omeprazole,
Antacid 3 tsf 3 hourly
Soft bland diet and small frequent meals
Avoid the spices and chilies and all the foods and beverages you must have noticed to cause or increase your problem.
If you follow this you will be cured of the problems.
