My husband upper abdomen is hurting, more on his right side. He has thrown up several times, states he feels a little dizzy, can t eat. When he tried tp eat the pain got worse and he stopped eating. He states it feels better when he lays down, but is only able to do that for a very short time. What would you recommend?

Hi,

I am sorry to hear that.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of pain in right upper abdomen, I would come up with two possibilities, these include:

Gastric ulcers: Ulcers in stomach. Pain in upper abdomen and pain getting worse after eating are common symptoms in gastric ulcers.

You can take PPI (proton pump inhibitors) like omeprazole 20mg twice daily.

Decrease excess salt and avoid alcohol, smoking, any spicy food.

If you are taking aspirin or NSAIDS for any pain- stop taking them.

Drink plenty of fluids.

For vomitings: You could take Tab. ondansetron whenever you feel nauseated.

2. Gall bladder stones: Pain in right upper abdomen and pain getting worse after eating fatty foods are common symptoms in gall bladder stones.

You need to get ultrasound scan done for your abdomen.

And further follow-up with the surgeon.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
