Question: 65 yr male strong pain left side starting just below rib cage. Seemed higher a week ago so attended emer at hospital as I had had a heart attack ( stents needed ) 12 months earlier. Spent day in hospital with no conclusive reason for pain. While in hospital 12 months ago had extreme pain a little higher than present pain. After what seemed like an overkill in the number of test done it was determined it was perhaps? An upper bowl blockage. 12 months ago had lymnth gals in left armpit removed following the removal of the 4 the melanoma from my back. Vietnam Vet suffering PTSD and depression. For years drank to excess smoked a min 25 cigs a day and had also turned to marihuana to get through the nights. With the help of hypnosis some six weeks ago stopped smoking both cigs and dope. Mentally have not felt this good for over 20 yrs but this continuing return of pain is getting me down. This morning 7.50 am the pain is strong and is worse each time I breath. Was about to head off to emer depart( sat morn ) so my Doc is not avail but as they found no reason for the pain ( with pain killers it went away each time ) each time thought why??? Bother. Not usually into computers but had a light bulb moment and grabbed recently purchased IPAD so here I am.
