Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain
Question: Hi,
I've had abdominal pain, full left side to right side which started gradually to now full time. I feel bloated all of the time and oddly, on occasion, can feel my pulse within my mid-section. It wakes me up at night. I'm otherwise and have always been healthy, an athlete and not overweight. I do worry because three of five people in my immediate family have had cancer: Ovarian, Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, Pancreatic.
