RUQ pain

22 yr old male with c/o RUQ pain for 48 hours accompanied by nausea and anorexia the past couple of days. The pain started 8 hours after a drinking binge 2 days ago (approx 1/2 liter of vodka shots). Pain has been worsening over the past 48 hours from a 2/10 to 5/10. Vomited twice the initial morning after binge, no vomiting since.

Denies stress but does have a history of anxiety disorder and panic attacks since high school. He is visibly anxious with sweat beads on his forehead and nose. He tried a course of Ativan a year ago but finds that marijuana helps or he just rides it out.
