Treatment For Severe Stabbing Abdominal Pain

Hi I have severe pain from somewhere around the stomach, it feels like hard stabbing that will lasts for about 2minutes off and on, I had a scope put into the stomach the doctors could not find anything in the stomach, do you think I should inquire about the pancreas and if so what kinds of test would I need to have done? At times I am afraid and think I am having a heart attack...HELP!!!

HI. As you have a suspicion get EKG done.
The cause of such severe stabbing pain in abdomen can be due to pancreatitis , intestinal obstruction ureteric colic.
The best way is to get a CT scan of the abdomen as it will also show the reasons that the ultrasonography will miss.
Also go for blood tests like lipase and amylase.
Go to ER get admitted , go for standing x-ray of the abdomen to see for intestinal obstruction .
Diagnosis done this way will lead to further proper management.
