Maybe: Upper abdominal pains can be caused by many things. Gallstones, stomach ulcer, gastritis, pancreatitis, kidney stone, constipation. Needs a complete evaluation with your doctor. An ultrasound can identify if there is a gallbladder issue.

Yes: Cholecystitis usually causes right upper quadrant pain, but not all right upper quadrant pain is caused by cholecystitis. Make sure you see your pmd regarding this pain. You may need a consultation with a gastroenterologist (gi specialist).
