Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Pain In Abdomen
Hi. I am a 30 year old woman. On the overweight side and a smoker but also very active. For about the last year I have been experiencing a pain in my upper left abdomen, right below my left ribcage, the pain radiates to left side and back. Most of the time its a dull ache but can get sharp at times. I almost always feel nauseous, fatigued and just feel unwell all the time. For the last 6 months I ve noticed that it seems almost impossible to stay awake after I eat and very sluggish even if its a small meal. I always have diarrhea or loose stools which are bright yellow. The newest symptom which began about a month ago , in addition to the pain in my upper left stomach, is the sensation of being punched in the stomach followed by difficulty taking a deep breath. It almost feels at times like I m forgetting to breath. I had my gall bladder removed 11 years ago and a c section in that same year. 4 months ago I went in for endoscopy and was told I had gastritis but wasn t prescribed anything. I wasnt thrilled with the treatment I received. I am currently waiting for my appt with my new physician in March. I am worried that this may be something that shouldn t wait until March. Also I wanted a second opinion on what these symptoms sound like ?
Hello and welcome to health care magic. I have gone through your question very diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
Left side stomach pain which aggravates in between with endoscopy which is suggestive of gastritis, might be related to acid peptic disease due to stomach hyperacidity or indigestion.
I would advise you to take antiacidity medicines until you see your doctor like pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids which are over the counter available drugs.
you should stop smoking and try to avoid junk, fried and fatty food. please have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables along with Curd, yoghurt and dairy products in your diet. thanks for your question, please feel free to ask for follow up question with all the relevant information, I will galdly answer you.
