Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Vomiting

I am a 58 year-old male. I have a severe (dull) pain in the middle of my stomach (belly button area) and I can't lay down at times. Walking/pacing is the only thing that I can do at the time of the most painful feelings. (I have had this periodically for the past 1 1/2 years, once every 3 or 4 months); I also have a fever (low-grade, for 2 days, now). My stool was black 4 days ago when this started and I also vomited that day. Since that time, I have not had a bowel movement at all (and no vomiting). I just took Miralax to help me to have a B.M. (about 1 hour ago). I take blood pressure medicine (for several years) and my bp is under control. I also have been taking fiber pills for 1 year. I have been indoor skiing for more than a year, 30 min. each day. I weigh 230 pounds, 6'2.

Hello,

A dull abdomen pain since a long time could be nonspecific, and it may not be due to any pathological disease, but more or less it seems to be IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome), it is kind functional disease.

If you have not done any test as long as the abdomen pain is the concern, then I would suggest getting done plain x-ray abdomen, and ultrasonography.

A low-grade fever could be due to some infection. If this is persistence, then it may also demand the blood test, but body temperature needs to note down every after two hours, you can try tablet Dicyclomine with Paracetamol drug as per needed on a tentative basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
