Diagnosed With Mono, Feels Stitch Under Rib Cage, Acid Reflux, Gall Bladder Removed, Hiatal Hernia Repaired
I am a 35 year old female that was diagnosed with Mono in June. 3 weeks ago I went to the clinic and they did an Epstein Barr Antibody Test on me. The doctor told me that I had "active acute mono". Since then my left side feels like I have a "stitch" just under the rib cage. I also seem to have severe morning acid reflux. Do you think the reflux could be from the added pressure in the abdomen from the spleen being enlarged? I have actually had my gallbladder removed and a large hiatal hernia repaired and since those surgeries I have really had zero reflux.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
NO this is not the thing as you are thinking about, the spleen is not the cause of your reflux acidic problem, the acid reflux disease is highly related with your stress level, anxiety and depressed patients are more prone to this disease so I would advise you to keep your anxiety level very much love and start taking omeprzole 40 mg just at evening time for 6 weeks you will feel much better with this treatment , have nice day
