How To Cure Abdominal Pain?

I feel like I've been punched in the stomach, right below the sternum. I've also been having moderate to severe lower and upper back pains going on 3 days, now. The stomach pain seems to wain off when I lay down, but gets progressively worse when I walk around or stay standing for too long. What could this be?

Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems that you have got some kind of inflammatory pathology in your abdomen. If I were your doctor, after a clinical assessment, I would go for an ultrasound of your abdomen with special reference to the biliary tract and pancreas, a routine blood test of CBC, blood sugar, an LFT, a serum lipase and amylase. Till the reports of these tests are ready, I would advise you for an anti spasmodic drug, and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. In case the pain increases in severity, I would advise you to report at the ER of your nearest hospital for proper management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
