Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/56 - first nausea then pain in abdomen for last 8 hours - bloated - pain lower left - right - under breast bone - no bloody stool nor fever ...
The pain in the areas in abdomen that you have mentioned is usually due to colitis, that is inflammation of large bowl as it is distributed in the abdomen as you have mentioned and the nausea is usually a reflex phenomenon, by which the body responds to any pain.
I would advise you to take an antispasmodic and see the results.
Watch for change in stools and development of any symptoms and signs and visit your Doctor/ ER to get a clinical evaluation, examination, investigations if required and proper prescription based management.
I hope this answers your query and helps in management, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
