Has anyone looked at your gallbladder? Gallbladders frequently cause right upper abdomen pain which can hurt more when you breathe because when your diaphragm moves it puts pressure on your gall bladder.

 

It's also possible you are have pain from stomach irritation.

 

I am glad you are going to the doctor though, she will be able to do a thorough exam and get you pointed in the right direction even if she doesn't immediately have the answer.
