Severe Pain In Lower Abdomen, Bloating, Started After Going To Toilet. Drinking Fizzy Fruit Salt. Any Ideas?

Hi. Today I experienced a terrible pain in my lower obdomen and the pain expanded to my entire tummy. My tummy inflated like a balloon. It felt like air trapped inside. This happened straight after using the toilet. I had to lay down to let the pain go. My mum offered me fizzy fruit salt water which helped. I used the toilet. The pain is over after 3 hours or so. My lower abdomen still feels tender. Now I have developed upper right hand side shoulder pain, the area near my neck. It feels like a stiff muscle.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
It seems you have ate plenty of food .
The pain in lower abdomen was due to overeating.
2nd thing mentioned in the query is pain in right shoulder this may be due to irritation of phrenic nerve .
This nerve also supply to shoulder joint as well as diaphragm ( a dome like membrane separates thorax and abdomen) is one and same hence due to abdominal distension pain also occurs in shoulder joint.
In my opinion this is just due to overeating .
Still you feel any trouble than consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
