What Causes Pain In The Center Of The Stomach Area?
I have had lots of test including uper and lower GI, & sonagram however I am still experiencing pain in the top center of my stomach area and also lower left side of stomach. I feel hot and then cold but my temp today was lower than normal lowest 97.3. I have felt sick to my stomach and I got a perscription from ER, Zofran to stop it. ER said it was Acute Gasritis. Lacking the actual sickness, I have had these symptums for over 6 months. Through the test they found ulcers and a hernia, but they said these would not cause this pain. The ER said I m suppose to go back to my reg. doctor but they have run gobs of test and can t figure it out. I have noticed more and more things are getting harder to eat with out the pain getting worse. I have a TBI so maybe I m not asking the right questions to help the doctor figure out what is wrong with me. I d appreciate any help you can give me!
