Hello,

You are bloating, you get sharp pains in your stomach, upper rib cage and under right breast. Your lower back also hurts. You have history of PCOS and endometriosis. You are suggested to get treated for PCOS and endometriosis as neglecting treatment will trigger the symptoms of backache and sharp stomach pain. Get clinically examined by an OBGYN. You may need conservative treatment or recommended surgery by your OBGYN if need be.

Since you are lacking in energy and motivation you are suggested to get thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH) done. You will be treated accordingly. Maintain healthy weight, stay active. Do regular walking. Stay away from addictions if any. Take PPIs (Pan-40), one stat when needed for relieve. Avoid oily, spicy food. Take boiled food for a couple of days. Take adequate water and quality sleep. Bloating commonly occurs due to formation of gas due to intake of wrong food (food that does not suit your system).

Be careful what you eat. Other medical conditions that cause bloating are IBS, depression, anxiety, stress, altered gut motility, ulcer (esophageal or peptic), constipation, celiac disease, malignancy, etc. Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw. Limit your intake of carbonated drinks, switch to healthy eating. Get clinically examined, get treated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
