Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to
dyspepsia (troubles with
indigestion) and the accumulation of gas in her intestine, leading to a distension of the diaphragm and pain in this region.
A gastric disorder (
gastritis or gastro esophageal reflux) can't be excluded.
The fact that her symptoms are modulated by the body movement is another argument in favor of these disorders, including possible musculo-skeletal pain.
If her symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray, an abdominal
ultrasound and some lab tests (
complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes) to rule out any other disorders related to this symptomatology.
A fibrogastroscopy may be necessary to exclude possible gastro-esophageal reflux.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
