Gallbladder disease can certainly cause discomfort in the right upper quadrant. Your gallbladder can be visualized with a CT scan of your abdomen and its function can be tested with a HIDA scan. These tests can determine whether or not you have gallbladder disease. Perhaps you can see a GI doctor and have these tests done to help diagnose your discomfort. Good luck!
