Could Pain In Abdomen While On Tyrosine Be Abdominal Hernia?
I have pain in the abdomen on the left side.It has a stabbing feeling at the front and aches around the base of the rib cage. It flares when I sit for a few hours and also on a full stomach, it is partially relieved by lying down by not completely. Prior to this I have experienced several bouts of acid reflux treated with lanzepralzol. l am on a low does of tyrosine for hypothyroidism. Is it an abdominal hernia what should I do.
Hi. Thanks for your query. The pain in the upper abdomen at the ribs, which increases on sitting for a long time and on full stomach, partially relieved by laying down, known case of acid-reflux, and on low dose of Thyroxine (Tyrosine ?) can not be due to the medicine for Hypothyroidism or Abdominal Hernia.
The most probable cause from your history is : Costochondritis if there is local tenderness. Or Gastric Ulcer or cancer. Hence the need of the following investigations: Upper GI Endoscopy and biopsy. X-ray of the chest Get the proper diagnosis to get properly treated by a General Surgeon.
