Why Do I Have A What Feels Like A Knot In My Upper Abdomen, Bloating, Gas And Constipation?
Question: I have a what feels like a knot in my upper abdomen, just below my rib cage just to the left. When I eat I get full pretty easily but appetite is good. Get slight bloating after eating but seem to get acid reflux afterwards. Constipation with gas. Been checked with a colonoscopy and everything there was normal.
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound abdomen is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I have worked through your attached query in detail
In presence of negative findings on physical examination by your doctor and colonoscopy, the possibility of a major disease is almost nil.
In order to have a more clearer and a confirmatory picture, it's advisable to get an ultrasound abdomen to rule out space-occupying lesion of the abdominal cavity if any.
Further management if any is largely based on test reports.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
