Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a daughter that is 19 years old and she only weighs 85 pounds. I know that she does not have a eating disorder. She is constanly throwing up and has abdominal pains. She has went to her doctor and he now has put her on a anti-depressent. I am really scard for her she is a skeleton
If she is given antidepressant, then it could be stress condition that might be causing the abdomen symptoms, and it may not be the pathological condition. Still, I would suggest getting done the routine test like stool culture sensitivity, and ultrasonography test.
Sometime it could be hormone changes related pain in the female, and it needs to rule out, it could be the cystic disease of ovaries, or UTI if these are not being ruled out then I would suggest to rule these out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
