What Causes Discomfort And Pain In Left Upper Stomach?

default
Posted on Mon, 14 Jul 2014
Question: I was doing yard work about a week and a half ago and felt discomfort moving large rocks. The next day I had a pain in my left upper stomach to the right of my upper left rib cage. Then a few days labor and currently, I have noticed the pain move to the left of my belly button. I also have felt gas noises and bubbles on the left side now which I have never noticed in my life before. This is not a sharp pain and it seems to get agitated even more upon eating

Brief Answer:
looks like gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

These symptoms can be due to gastritis.

And for that i would suggest that you take a course of a PPI tablet like pantaprazole or omeprazole for a coulpe of weeks. Also you need to avoid tea, coffee, soda drinks, and spicy foods, as these will make your gastritis worse.

Hope I have been helpful.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma

Thank you, so this does not sound as if it is hernia related?

Thanks for your time

Brief Answer:
no

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

No it does not sounds like hernia. As there you get a swelling that disappears on lying down, which is not there in your case.
