Q: Pain while getting abdominal ultrasound, Is this normal?

They spent most of the time on the right side along the ribs; as well as alot of time in the esphagus area.Which was very painful when they got near the breast bone area. The tech spent maybe 3-4 minutes on my left side, thats all.  Never had a abdominal ultrasound before.  There was also pain in the lower rib area on right side.

the esphagus was the worst.  I was in tears it hurt so bad.  Is this normal?
