How To Cure Frequent Abdominal Pain?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have been experiencing on and off upper stomach pain below breat bone, in the middle. Every few months it is very intense, like labor, lasts 6 to 10 hours. Sometimes try to sleep through it. I had a hydra scan on gallbladder came back abnormal, not functioning properly, not infected. I think the rate was at 24%. Antacids, pepto do me no good.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

You have upper stomach pain below the breast bone .
This is more suggestive of a problem related to the esophagus, stomach or so.
I would advise you to undergo Upper GI Endoscopy to rule out esophagitis, hiatus hernia, stomach ulcers or stomach cancer.
Ultrasonography and HIDA scan already done,
Non-functioning gall bladder can not cause pain in such a way.

CT scan of the chest and abdomen can help.
Take PPI, Pepto bismol Antacid can help .

I find this answer helpful
