What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Lower Right Abdominal Pain?

I have abdominal pain in the low right hand side of my stomach. I am 55. I do not have shortness of breath or any stroke like symptoms that I am aware of. The pain has been going on for some time. I often have to defecate 2x per day. I am 5 8 and ~175lbs. I run 4 miles every other day without difficulty. Thoughts?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shortness of breath and lower right abdominal pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , panic disorder , celiac disease , gallstones , irritable bowel syndrome or lactose intolerance . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , take benadryl twice a day and avoid food like sea food or nuts . If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , stool test and endoscopy . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with laxative , H 2 blockers and lopramide .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
