Hi I'm 34 y.o female, about 3 days ago I've got bad pain in the upper part of my stomach that radiates to the middle of my back right to my spine. This pain feel like a straight shot. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Can you tell me what can it be? Thanks.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after examining you clinically,I would advise you for some routine blood test like a cbc, blood sugar, serum amylase/lipase, a LFT, and an routine ultrasound abdomen/CT scan abdomen, to rule out any possibility of inflammation of pancreas specially if you consume alcohol. Till that I would advise you for some kind of anti spasmodic drug, proton pump inhibitor, and to avoid eating from outside and consuming alcohol if you do.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
