Suffering From Stomach Pain
Stomache Pain. Top of the stomache (hand size), pain comes and goes for the last 15 days. Xray and scan has been diagnosed normal, buscopan only relieves pain , able to sleep and do physical work no problem, but its stressful to not know what it is. Because of the iron tablet I take Im not regular maybe once a week, its with a dark stools due to the iron tablets.I put my jack russell dog down 10 days ago he was coughing up blood with a blotting stomache the vet said he was to old have surgery. Im hoping I havent got what he had, My GP checked me their was no evidence of serve pain, she said to take panadole and if pain gets worse my next step will be to have a tube stuck up my anus to go through my stomache . Do I live with this pain , do i wait till im bleeding before anything is done? I worried.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Your symptoms are nonspecific, but these may be suggestive of gastritis, GERD or hiatal hernia so you should do gastroscopy to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by irritation of stomach mucosa by certain food or medications, stress and smoking. It should be treated by changing lifestyle habits first and in severe cases medications or surgery may be required. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antiacid medications may be required by diagnosis should be established first.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
