Twinges In Upper Chest, Nausea, Indigestion, Gas, Loose Stools. Past Pcos. Advise?
Hi, I have been for about 2 days, having weird twinges in my left upper chest, only intermittently. I have been nauseous almost every time I eat. I have also been experiencing a tremendous amount of gastrointestinal upset. I have had quite a bit of indigestion and gas, along with bowel movements that have been either loose or extremely constipated. I am overweight and take meds for my BP. I am otherwise healthy. I had a cardiac work up about 5 years ago, which was all negative. My cholesterol & triglyceride levels are not horrible, just slightly over normal. I have had ovarian cysts in the past as well. Any clue as to what you think I may be experiencing?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described details, there appears to be possibility of dyspepsia with decreased gastrointestinal motility.
Dyspepsia is a collection of symptoms consisting of acidic belching, abdominal heaviness and bloating, gargling sound , excessive flatulence.
You should go for complete blood count, serum amylase, liver function test, renal function test, ultrasound imaging and endoscopy for better clarification.
You should also go for chest x ray.
You should also go for urea breathe test for H. Pylori.
Treatment depends on exact diagnosis.
Meanwhile, you should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokientics and antispasmodics.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
