Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your and being your physcian i completely understand your health concerns.
for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hyptertension? are u having fever? any other lymph node swelling in ur body?
as far as pain in the abdomen is concerned there are alot of differentials like pepic ulcer diesase, gall bladder problem, duodenal problem, costochondritis of ribs etc. you need to be examined by the doctor so that exact cause can be sort out.
if i am ur attending doctor i would get your abdominal ultrasound along with LFTS and fbc. and ECG.
IS there any association of food intake with the pain? does it comes on full stomach or empty stomach?
you need to assesed fully before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn and in my opinion u need to undergo ENDOSCOPY to asses the degree of VARICES too.
meanwhile stay calm and use OMEPRAZOLE 40mg before breakfast daily . it will help you relieve symptoms.
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
