What Causes Electric Like Pain In My Stomach?

Hello, I have been getting a sharp almost electric pain at the top of my stomach for quite some time now, and it comes and goes. It is very sharp and lasts about 15 seconds then goes away for about a day or so. I have a constant stomach pain, light almost unnoticeable, really really light nausea, but I cannot eat a full meal, I get full with half a hot dog. I mainly have pain in the lower left side of my stomach.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination of your abdomen, I would advise you for a routine blood test like a CBC, blood sugar, an LFT, and a serum amylase/lipase to rule out any problems of hepato-biliary tree and the pancreas. I would also go for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out pathology of the gall bladder and pancreas. Till then, I would prescribe for you an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the investigation reports.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
