What Is Wrong If I Have Abdominal Pain When Eating Or Drinking?

Hi Doctor Samuel I had pain under my left rib cage on Monday lunchtime. Went to hospital and had blood, urine and ECG checked and was clear. Doctor then gave me laxative for constipation and after 2 dosage I had severe runs for a few hours. Runs had stopped but now when I drink or eat it hurts and feels like the food is stuck inside mid abdomen. Also when I walk my left side hurts. Please let me know what s wrong. Jan

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It is nothing to worry at all, hyper peristalsis wave causing such symptoms, while we eat a kind of wave appears in GI system that helps the food to propagate ahead when this wave becomes more active then it gives such kind of pain as you are feeling, you have to eat slow, eat little less in quantity, the purgative or laxative will aggravate the condition, :Dicyclomine" is drug of choice and this slow the peristalsis wave no need to worry even if you do nothing then condition goes away it self have nice day.
