What Causes Sharp Pain In Upper Abdomen And Back?
Gastritis esophagitis may be with ulcer
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate: Female/46 - ** sharp back and upper abdomen/chest pain for a week - *worst after eating - cardiac negative - Labs normal - waiting for result of abdominal ultrasound - Ibuprofen tried - Ultram and Tums helps a little -
Gall bladder does not cause back pain .
Your history of back, upper abdomen/chest pain together is more suggestive of gastritis with esophagitis.
I would advise you to go for upper GI Endoscopy ASAP.
Add on PPI like omeprazole
Antacid liquid 3 tsf every 3 hours
soft bland / liquid diet
avoid stress and anxiety
I hope this answer helps you for an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
