I've been having this chest discomfort that's mostly in the center, but sometimes it's a bit on the left side too. Plus, there's this back pain right in the middle of my back. Last year I talked to a gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy and a chest X-ray. They didn't spot anything except a gastric problem. But here I am, a year later, feeling the same kind of discomfort again. What could be going on? Should I be worried, or is this something common that happens with gastric issues?

I'm having this stomach pain for the past two weeks, and I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter what I eatwhether it's homemade rice and dal or even spicy or sweet foodsthe pain just keeps coming back. It feels a bit like gastric pain sometimes, but there's no diarrhea or vomiting. Even with light or non-masala meals, the pain persists. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Multiple gallstones best managed with diet alteration,hydration,choleretic herbs (like milk thistle),and ursodeoxycholic acid until surgery is possible.
