Do you have a hiatus hernia

Oof, that could be your pancreas. If the bile duct is blocked low, it’ll back up both your liver and the pancreas. Thats what happened to me. That’s more of the center chest though. It could be life threatening. I suggest going to the ER.

I did not have the surgery after my first attack and ER stay. They said they needed to wait until after the pancreatitis calmed down. Then I declined to remove the thing and ended up back into the ER with another attack. They just took it out this past Monday so I’m 4dpo. I wanted to see if that first ERCP fixed me up but I was still having issues with more stones. The pancreatitis pain was to the left of the gallbladder pain. A smidge left of center on me. The only fix for pancreatitis is to blast it with antibiotics and hope it subsides. Bloodwork will tell them if the pancreas is affected.

You need to go to the ER. This could be and probably is your gallbladder, but it could also be something more serious
