What Causes Abdominal Tightness?

I am experiencing random tightness through my abdomen, I think originating on the right side. It feels like I can t breathe, but I can. It comes for about 3-5 minutes at a time and I have felt it for a few weeks now. Should I be concerned? Or what should I be looking for?

Do not feel concerned until you get unbearable or consistant pain and are not relieved by simple remedial measures. It seems concerned with your colon.

If you take mild laxatives, you may feel relieved. Do not rush for unnecessary medication until indispensable.

If I were your doctor , would have suggested you Ayurveda's mild Taruni Kusumakar chooran ( herbal powder) 1 tsp BD with warm water x 3 days and then 1 tsp once a day for 5 days and then 1 tsp once every alternate day.

If problem still exists ( the chances are remotest), may go for gastro enteroscopy or other synthetic medicines.

Hope it guides you well. May ask anything further.
