Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a clinical assessment of your abdomen, I would advise you for a CBC, liver function test, a serum amylase and lipase to rule out a pancreatitis, and an ultrasound of abdomen to know the status of the common bile duct. With a history of hypertension and enlarged heart, I would also advise you to get yourself reviewed by your cardiologist. Till then, I would advise you for an anti-spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
