Pain In Abdomen, Constipation, Diarrhea, Stinging In Chest. What Could Be This?
Hello, I am 18 YO female and i have been having pain in the lower right side of the abdomen. I visited the doctor and she ruled out appendicitis by blood test. I also have no fever.
I have been having periods of constipation followed by diarrhoea. The pain is right beside the hip line and sometimes also happens on the left side. Sometimes it is accompanied by stinging in the chest that radiates upward then down to my stomach. It is worst with movement and lifting heavy items. Also more severe when I stand up after bending over.

Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described details, there appears to high possibility of Acute gastroenteritis with myalgia.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
He should go for complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ultrasound imaging, and serum electrolytes, renal function test.
You should also go for colonoscopy.
You should take complete antibiotic therapy, antispasmodics, probiotics, antipyretics, if needed.
You should maintain your hydration status by taking potassium rich liquids.
Take soft diet along with yogurt and banana.
Avoid milk and all milk related products.
