Hello, I am a 36 year old woman and I have been in and out of the hospital with pain on the right side of my stomach and I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and Hepatitis they said non-viral.  I also had a lot of pain on my rib and the GI doctor said that I had a slipped rib?  He gave me pain patches and that seemed to help a little.I now have pain in the center of my stomach and the GI doctor said that it was my chose if I wanted to do an endoscope when I asked what we might be looking for he said that it could be an infection or an ulcer.  I have decided not to do the scope.  I have been on Prilosec for about 2 month twice and day and there has been no difference.  I have also stay away from anything high in fat and acid.  About 1 week ago I got a stomach bug and I have not been feeling good since them.  Should I be worried??
Hello, You have been suffering with dyspepsia. The gastric mucosa may get erosion and give pain. The food intake may increase your stomach pain. Hence, it inadvisable to undergo endoscopy.
