I have had loose motions and constipation ( constipation which is very very rare for me )
Brief Answer:
Please get an ultrasound scan of the whole abdomen done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Yasoda,
I am sorry about the excruciating pain that you are suffering from.
Most of your symptoms mainly point towards inflammation of the gall bladder or Cholecystitis (in medical terms). The loose stools and constipation could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. Or it could simply mean acute severe gastritis or GERD (Gastro Eesophageal Reflux Disease).
To conclude on the diagnosis, I suggest you to get an ultrasound scan of the whole abdomen done. In case, if you have already done it; Please upload the report on this page.
The management of your symptoms would depend on your clinical or radiographic diagnosis.
The medicines you have taken are right. I also suggest you take an antacid like Tablet Pantocid DSR once daily early morning on empty stomach to ease your symptoms.
Please revert with the ultrasound report to guide you further.
Awaiting your response.
Regards,
Dr Shanthi E
