What Could Be The Pain In My Left Abdomen?

I am a diet pepsie addict, I consume on average 3 letters a day, if not more. Last three days when ever I drink it I get a sharp pain in my left abdomen, it was like a contraction, in the level of pain. What could be my problem, I was reading it could be kidney problems ?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is difficult to diagnose from your description. Left abdomen is a vast area of the stomach.
The possibilities are the gastric irritation, spleen or pancreas or kidney pain if pain is present in the upper part. It may be be the pain of the left ureter with infection, or stone, or descending colon, if in the lower part, may be of urinary tract infection of bladder, or stone in the lower part of ureter or rectal pain.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis.
i usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel, till the diagnosis is established.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
