Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having bad stomach pain in the upper left part of my stomach just under my rib cage. I have also started getting vericose veins, that had never showed up before. my left breast has also been hurting me. I know I am not pregnant, because I am a virgin and had my last period 3 weeks ago. this pain has been continuing for about 2 months. I am a 19 year old female. I have also been getting diareeah quite frequently, usually after eating.
Hello and thank you for your question. It is possible that you are having gastritis or even an ulcer. The pain you describe is in the stomach area and sometimes severe stomach pains can cause pain in the ribs above the stomach and even up into the breast. I would first try adding a medication like omeprazole to block stomach acid. If this does not help in a week or so then try eliminating dairy from your diet. If your symptoms persist you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation. I hope you are feeling better soon.
