Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for submitting your question.
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing these troubling symptoms. Regarding the stomach pain and associated gas, this may represent gastritis which may be due to a variety of causes, such as acute infection or H.pylori gastritis. Regarding The pain and sensation of swelling in your lower right quadrant, unfortunately this cannot be definitively evaluated without a physical examination. Weight loss itself generally does not produce the symptoms (congratulations on your weight loss!). Given the presence of 2 issues which may be related to the gastrointestinal system as well as the acute pain, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist for a full assessment and possible adjunct testing, such as endoscopy.
I hope this will bring you relief from your symptoms soon.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga
