Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Recurring Abdominal Pain And Bloating?
I started yesterday with a pain/ache -- upper abdomen and chest on the right side. Lots of gas. Distended abdomen & bloated. Not affected by eating - stays the same. Feeling like I need to cough & hurts a little more when I do. Also pain increase when I lay on my right side. Woke me up last night when I rolled over. What could it be?
Your symptoms could be suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome. For this reason, if the problem persists, I would recommend performing some tests: - An abdominal ultrasound - Kidney and liver function tests - Complete blood count, PCR, ESR - A chest X-ray study You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests .
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
