The pain does not feel like cramps or gas pains or like I need to have a bowel movement I do not have diarrhea or constipation. what could be cause of pain?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is COPD and cause little respiratory problem like dyspnea then it may cause the abdominal pain and this is nothing to worry, no need to treat this bed rest and COPD needs to be taken care, better to stay away from stress, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
