Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Upper Chest Pain
I ve been having abdominal pain first on my right side and now on my left. It began on my right side 5 days ago in my back and now has migrated to my front abdomen. I also have pains in my upper chest area as well now which began 2 days ago. any suggestions.
The most common cause of abdominal pain radiating to the chest is Acid Reflux(GERD), IBS or spasticity of the colon. Although the other reasons can be indigestion, food allergy, gallstones or UTI.
Take antacids, PPI's, Pantoprazole - 40, Spasmol to get relieve. Stay well hydrated & avoid constipation.
Do not take oily, junk food, maintain weight, do regular exercises, avoid addictions if any, avoid any food that triggers your symptoms. Get physically examined.
Get Urinalysis done to rule out UTI & Imaging tests to rule out gallstones. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the illness detected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
* As per my surgical experience, the usual cause of migrating upper abdomen pain from back to front can be co-related with gravels or calculus in the urinary system with chest pain manifestation due to secondary gastric upset.
* Though definite conclusion can be only derived after a thorough history, physical examination and supportive evaluation with ultrasound of the abdomen & pelvis.
* At present can opt the best relief with extended-release paracetamol tablet with PPI as omeprazole or else till you consult your doc.
* Surely avoid spices and nonveg stuff.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
