What Causes Severe Flatulence And Sharp Abdominal Pain While Treating Acute Tonsillitis?
Question: I'm experiencing 2 types of symptoms. I have a known problem of recurrent acute tonsillitis and tonsillectomy is advised by my ENT doctor.
1. I feel pain in left upper chest frequently. Less frequently in my lower back, sometimes left and sometimes right and legs. For this my doctor has adviced the following tests.
a. Vitamin B12
b. Vitamin D
c. Serum Creatinine
d. USG Abdomen & Pelvis
Should I go ahead with these tests? My doctor is pretty sure that it has nothing to do with my heart and has not ordered for E.C.G. I feel that this is a risk. Please advise if we are on the right track.
2. I'm experiencing frequent farting, passing winds(sometimes a lot of wind) and sudden sharp pain in abdomen and need to go to the washroom. I have not consulted the doctor yet.
My lifestyle is sedentary and I'm taking slow steps towards changing it. I was a smoker till recently. I quite smoking 2 months ago. I do not go to the gym yet. I walk for 45 mins after dinner. My weight is increasing, its 62 now and height 161 cms.
Are the two of my symptoms related? Should I go for cancer checkup or cardio checkup? or any other.
