What Causes Lower Right Abdominal Pain?

My lower right abdomen is in slight pain and i felt like a pop an er doctor pressed on it and it hurt a lil and he said it wasnt my appendix, but i still have pain there. Another issue i have had it was like my breathing went shallow i felt like i was going to pass out. Then my heart would race the right side of my face felt like a tingling sensation, my hands felt clamy and i started to slightly shake, then i felt exhausted. I tasted like i had metal in my mouth before i felt like i was going to pass out.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a stool test for ova and cyst, and a urine routine, microscopic (and a culture sensitivity test if need be) test to rule out a UTI and treat it if positive. In case of a female patient, I would inquire about history of any missed period, and go for an ultra-sound to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (specially in those who are sexually active) which could give rise to your other symptoms along with the pain on the right lower abdomen. If all these are negative, I would give a serious thinking to the appendix as the culprit, and re assess you clinically followed by a diagnostic laparoscopy if thought necessary. Till then I would prescribe you with an anti spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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.
