What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Pain Radiating Towards Left Shoulder?

Hi,My husband has been experiencing bloating and pain in the left side of his abdomen radiating up to his left shoulder. He also seems to become nauseous or has a sick stomach feeling with no vomiting after eating and it doesn t seem to matter what he has eaten. This is becoming increasingly more frequent and has been going on for at least four months. I had similar symptoms when I had gallbladder trouble. What do you think it could be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Since your husband is experiencing pain & bloating in the left side of the abdomen, it could be due to diverticulitis.

However, the other medical conditions with similar symptoms are IBS, gastritis, gastrointestinal issues, etc.

It could be appendicitis, gall stones, overeating or stress. Get him clinically examined by a GP. Get CBC, Urinalysis, Stool analysis, Imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray) done.

His treatment will depend on the pathology detected & his clinical condition. In the meantime, he should avoid sedentary lifestyle, stay well hydrated. Take small meals multiple times a day.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
