Left Side Back Pain, Problems With Eating, Weakness, Nausea. Taking Tylenol. Suggestions?
I have a left side back pain, having trouble sitting straight, also having problem with eating and if I touch below my rib cage in the front and the back pain seem to be at the same point. Feeling weak and nausea, especially when eating, back pain is strong, does not go away with tylenol.

Hi, Thanks for your question at HCM
I understood your problem and from the ways symptoms are described there are two things that bothers you
1. back pain
2. pain below the rib cage in the front.
Firstly, I think you are having gastrits which can cause nausea and also pain when you press below your rib cage in the front.
Secondly, back pain on the left side can be caused by either wrong position while sleeping or sitting or could be a cause of any problem in your neck bones. to know exactly what is the reason for the back pain better show to orthopedic surgeon.
For your gastritis you could take Pantodac 40 mg tab, 1 tab 1 hr before food on empty stomach and avoid taking spicy foods.
Hope this answers your question
