Would get tested for H pylori a bacteria that resides in the stomach and is associated with ulcers and needs antibiotics to resolve/or gallbladder( ultrasound). Test for COVID. Do CXR.. Recent vaccination- check for myocarditis (may see on EKG/echo) Rarely if near the lungs may be lung clot (more commonly in females on birth control) -d-dimer test may be helpful.
