What Causes Severe Pain In The Stomach?

I have really intense pain in my stomach if I eat any food at all. I have zofran, which I have been taking for a week now, but the pain comes back every time I eat. I have lost 5 lbs in less than a week. Last night I ate dinner at 7:30 and when I went to bed at 10 pm it was starting to be painful. Now at 2am it is miserable. I took a zofran at 1:15 but hasn t let up.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The intense pain you feel in your stomach if you eat any food at all is suggesting stomach ulcer.

You should go to ER as soon as possible or consult your gastroenterologist immediately. Zofran alone can't help. You should run upper endoscope and abdominal ultrasound to determine the right diagnosis.

Losing weight in less than 1 week is not a good sign, and you should get immediate medical help.

Take lemon soda drink to see if this helps. If not, go to ER immediately.

Wish fast recovery.
