What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen While Suffering From GERD?

I had a test done I believe on 12/09/2016. It was called a GERD. I think. A scope down my throat to check out my esophagus. The next day I started to get pain on the left side of lower abdomen and low back right above hip bone. Sharp pains constant, more when I am moving. It hurts mostly in my front area. Can you please tell me something?

Hi,

I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. As per your history, please find my advice below:

1) As you have been diagnosed with GERD, so do these things first:-

a) Losing weight (if overweight)
b) Avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products, peppermint, coffee, and possibly the onion family
c) Avoiding large meals
d) Waiting 3 hours after a meal before lying down
e) Elevating the head of the bed by 8 inches

Medications:
a) GASIPRA-MPS oral
b) 3a-PAN D tablets

If you are not good in conservative approach then surgical repair [Laparoscopic] will be required.

2) Do an ultrasound examination whole abdomen

3) Do Urine Exam [RE/ME]

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
