What Causes Severe Pain In The Stomach Along With Breathing Difficulty?
I ve been having severe stomach pain for 6 days. It is constant & feels like someone is wringing it out like a sponge. I am also having some trouble breathing, shortness of breath, but I thought that might be due to my heart rate, which for the last two months has been 100, with a BP of 60/80. Should I be concerned or will it go away? Thank you.

Hi,
It would be best to be seen. Severe abdominal pain should always be assessed physically (by examination of the abdomen), to rule out a surgical cause.
Imaging of the abdomen by X-ray or ultrasound or CT (depends on the examination findings)- may also be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
