What Could Cause Pain In The Stomach And Near The Liver During Dry Heaves With No Conclusion Coming From X Rays / Proctologist?
Our mentally challenged daughter (age 45) has been having dry heaves intermittently over the past 14 hours. Gravol was taken 6 hours ago (every 8 hr.) She is not verbal and complains very little unless pain is substantial. Past episodes of 2 - 3 hours of apparent discomfort, occurring 2 - 3 times annually. X-rays via our family doctor and consultation with a Proctologist have not rectified the problem. When complaints are made, her hand motion is on her right side approximate to the liver. This occurance, complaint of pain during these dry heaves is from the front of her stomach. If the heaving continues another few hours, a hospital visit will result. Any input is welcomed.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be due to the gastric pain, may be related to the indigestion, or irritant foods.
If the pain continues you may consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone, and anaesthetic antacid gel.
In such events i advise you to avoid nonvegetarian foods, spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
