General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise your husband for an ultrasound abdomen, and an ECG to rule out any biliary and or a cardiac problem. Till then, I would advise him for an anti spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.

Abdominal pain radiating from front to back suggesting some pancreatic problem. Classical picture like indigestion dyspepsia. pain relieve on forward bending . Is it like this so mostly suggests pancreatic problem. Liver function tests should be to know cause . X Ray ct scan may not show any finding in starting stage. Consult gastro enterologist.
