Gastro says its nothing. i had colon and upper endoscopy. sometimes my stomach hurts on upper part of my belly. it is somethings when i eat or just because. it happens a lot can high cholesterol be the cause and dark chocolate? is it serious?

It is not uncommon that endoscopic studies do not reveal the cause of dyspepsia (upper part of the abdomen or epigastric pain). High cholesterol is not associated with this symptom. You can only blame dark chocolate if you have this pain after eating it or you are problem free if you stop eating dark chocolate. Try to learn what food or condition triggers the pain and what lessens the pain.

Many times the reason for such symptoms is functional, such as a spasm, rather than structural and work up will likely be expanded. Chocolate may act as an upper gi irritant, cholesterol is not commonly involved in such symptoms with the exception of building plaque and affecting regional circulation.
