Having Pain On Right Side And Troubled Breathing. Feel Light Headed And Hot Flashes When I Get Pain. Help?

Just thought I should add that 2-3 months ago I had the pain on my middle right side last for about a month. Same symptoms:shortness of breath, hot flash, sweating, nauseating feeling and light headedness. And It feels like it wants to happen again right now, definitely starting up with taunting pain and sweating
thanks for the query
From the description you have given, there are two possible origins of your symptoms;
-respiratory and
-digestive
With a history of allergy, obstructive pneumopathy is possible. Asthma, Bronchitis, bronchiectasis etc have to be ruled out. Chest X-ray films are necessary to have an image of the lungs in which any structural abnormality will be seen. Respiratory function tests also are needed to rule out obstructive diseases of the lungs.
The main digestive problem could be a peptic ulcer disease which presents with burning pain in the epigastric region. The pain radiates to the back is provoke by certain food; alcohol, pepper, spices etc. Peptic esophagitis is also possible in case acidic food moves backward to the esophagus thus eroding the esophagus and causing pain. Peptic ulcer disease is usually associated with a bacteria known as H. pylori and people positive for this bacteria have to take an eradication treatment. You will need an endoscopy which will visualize and make photos of the digestive tract and any abnormaly will be observe.
For adequate and effective care, it will be better to consult an internist who will do a detail examination and request appropriate tests following the findings of his examination.
Hope this answers your query. If you have further query, i will be glad to answer.
Best regards
