Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it requires a personal physical assessment of the abdomen, if I were your doctor, I would do some blood tests of yours like a CBC, Blood sugar, blood urea, s creatinine, liver function test, serum amylase and serum lipase apart from considering the necessity of an ultrasound abdomen to rule out chances of a cholecystitis and/or a pancreatitis. In addition to the investigations as noted above, I would also advise you to abstain from alcohol and smoking if you do, and add more of roughage and liquids to your diet, and a moderate exercise schedule. On the Chat Doctor.  Last bot not the least, if all of the above are inconclusive, and treatment did not give you relief, I would consider referring you to a gastroenterologist for a possible endoscopic evaluation of your stomach intestines. Further management and allied investigations would depend on the results and reports of the aforementioned procedures. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
