What Causes Abdominal Pain On The Left Side?
My husband came back from a work trip experiencing stomach pain (predominantly on the left side), sweats, clammy hands, chills (but no fever). He feels overheated and is perpetually hungry, yet eating makes him nearly vomit. Any idea what it might be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Left sided abdominal pain with chills is concerning for possible diverticulitis. CT scan of abdomen can confirm the diagnosis and if confirmed, then treatment is with antibiotics. Please be advised to follow up with emergency room as soon as possible.
