Important Highlights:

Gallstones, which can cause severe and sudden pain in the upper right abdomen, are the most likely cause of chronic upper right abdominal pain, accounting for approximately 40% of cases.
Gastritis or peptic ulcers can cause pain perceived on the right side of the abdomen, often intensified when the stomach is empty and alleviated by eating certain foods or taking antacids.
Acute upper right abdominal pain could potentially indicate appendicitis, while chronic pain might be a symptom of liver disease, kidney stones, or gastrointestinal cancers.
The initial approach to diagnosing upper right abdominal pain often involves a detailed patient history and physical exam, blood tests, and imaging such as an abdominal ultrasound.
Treatments for upper right abdominal pain vary by cause and can include medication, such as Ursodeoxycholic acid for gallstones, or surgical intervention, like cholecystectomy.

There is usually burning and slight pain in the upper right region. There is a constant sound of gas coming from that area, gas sounds come when I press it with my hand. Sometimes it doesn't happen for days, sometimes it starts again. It makes me feel sluggish. In ultrasound everything clear, there's only a cyst on my liver, and they said wasn't cause pain. Does gas do this?

I have Upper right quadrant pain or burning sensation mainly when sneezing or coughing. It feels like a coin size but literally at times the burning feels like something explode and hot liquid spreading when i sneeze hard. I exercise and do heavy weights. Can it be a hernia, although the burning/pain when sneezing or coughing seems to point to appendicitis?

How about right upper abdominal pain only when you twist your body to the right?

Can this ever be gas pain from the colon? I have dull intermittent pain in the upper right quadrant. Stools appear normal. I laid on my back and pushed down and it might slightly increase the pain but I cannot be sure. It is a little bit below the ribs, just on the right side of the centerline.
