Suggest Treatment For Left-sided Pain, Heaviness In Stomach And Back

I have spasm like pains or cramps for almost one year now. They have done cat scan, HIDA TEST, ENDOSCOPY AND STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE PAIN COMES FROM. AT TIMES MY LEFT SIDE HURTS QUITE A BIT AND THE MIDDLE OF MY STOMACH FEELS HEAVY AND DISCOMFORT RUNS TO BACK. FAMILY HISTORY OF GALLBLADDER PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH TEST COME OUT OK, COULD I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GALL BLADDER? CAN T SEEM TO EAT SOLID FOOD WITHOUT STOMACH HURTING. HAVE BEEN IN HOSPITAL TWICE AND ONE IN EMERGENCY WITH THE PAIN.

Hello,

The left sided pain, heaviness in stomach and back may be in concern with different issues as:
- Digestive enzyme disturbances
- Compromise in blood supply of mesenteric arteries
- Motility disorders of intestine as diabetic gastroparesis or others
- Live and gall bladder or biliary tract disease
- Chronic infections or H. Pylori of the stomach
- Malabsorption disorders
- Pancreas problems
- Systemic issues giving secondary GI involvement

My guidelines at present for this particular concern:
- Strict dietary control to avoid spices, non veg, junk items
- Prefer small, frequent food at intervals
- Chew your food very thoroughly
- Have regular practice of exercises, walking, YOGA
- Control of body weight
- Control of blood sugar, cholesterol
- Avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- Capsule omperazole on empty stomach
- Anti-spasmodic tablet as dicyclomine or drotaverine for spasm relief

Do try to send me all details of available reports during next follow up session for better discussion in this regard.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
