Suggest Remedy For Tingling Sensation In Abdomen With Dizziness

Hi, I have had repeated tingling on the up right part of my abdomen, starting on the front side near the second to third bottom rib. Sometimes, it goes numb, sometimes it a dull ache, sometimes it wakes me up at night. It's come and gone the past few years but the tingling and numbness has been in the past month or so. I also get dizzy, which is VERY unusual for me. Dizziness is often accompanied with nausea.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query .
Read and understood your Problems
Tingling sensation in the abdomen and the dizziness along with dull ache sometimes , sometimes waking up in the night can be due to costochondritis as you have explained pain as in the front side of the lower chest in the lower second to third bottom ribs.

Dizziness associated with nausea can be due to reflex mechanism of the body secondary to the primary problem of the pains.

Get a clinical examination done by a General Surgeon and get other tests if required.
Treatment would be:
PPI like Pantoprazole
Anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen thrice daily in therapeutic dosage.
Oral steroids may be needed in some cases .
Stress and anxiety have to be under control.
