Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your history of hypertrophic cardio-myopathy for your you had undergone open-heart surgery in the past, and does not look to be related to this much severe pain on the right side of the abdomen, also noted that your bowel movements are normal. The most probable cause of such a severe pain on the right side can be due to a stone impacted in the right ureter or rarely appendicitis. It is easy to get a diagnosis of this by a simple X-ray of the PUB of abdomen and ultrasonography, in addition to the tests of blood, urine and stool. If there is a stone in the ureter, the pain may persist till it is pushed down into the urinary bladder or is removed by ureteroscopy or open surgery.
