I am a 19 yr old female. I started having upper abdominal pain a week ago. It began as just pressure on right side between ribs and I began frequent belching. This pain seemed to come and go, but as the days passed its gotten worse and always seems to be there. Also, the belching relives serious pressure but they sounds very strange. All blood tests, ultrasounds and an endoscopy came back completely normal. The GI doctor prescribed me dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day but this doesnt seem to help. This is extremely uncomfortable and Im beginning to panic, but no doctors can seem to figure out whats wrong with me. can you help?

I would advise you to have the following
