What Causes Stomach Pain After Eating?

I have been having stomach aches several times a day. The usually occur about 20 minutes after eating. I also have profuse sweating while feeling cold. This has been going on since May and my doctor has not been able to identify the cause. What do you think? What are some of the less invasive tests I should have?

Hi,

Having stomach aches several times a day, about 20 minutes after eating and associated with feeling cold might be related to:
- duodenal ulcer
- post-prandial hypoglycemia

I suggest to:
- run upper endoscopy
- do abdominal ultrasound
- measure your blood sugar at the moment when you have the pain episode and run other diabetes testing to exclude hypoglycemia.
- do a complete blood work to exclude anemia

Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed. Unless, you are taking any medication on regular basis.

Hope it helped!
