Ok, well you say the pain has gone down, which is good, but this still could be risky. This is kind of the area where your appendix is, so there''s always this possibility... if the pain comes back or gets worse, you must get to hospital.

A: 1. it could be anything actually. ranging from acidosis to appendicitis.. if i was in that position i would get it checked out by more physicians because the same doctor might think its something when its really something else because he missed a symptom or he''s just making things up and doesn''t know what is really going on. 2. Kittie, this is a million to one shot from a person called Noidea, but have his doctors tested him for Neuroendocrine tumors? This requires a blood test for Chromogranin A, platelet serotonin and a 24 hour test for urinary 5HIAA, a serotonin derivative. Neuroendocrine tumors take an average of five to nine years to diagnose and are frequently misdiagnosed as IBS, asthma, hypochondria etc because they are so rare. Nexium may affect the...

A: Bloating or pain in the upper stomach can cause severe discomfort and is indicative of problems in digestion. This occurs when gas gets trapped under the abdominal cavity resulting in tightness and cramps. It may occur occasionally due to food habits or irregular meal times. However, if it occurs often, then it requires medical attention. Common causes of bloating are mentioned below: Obstruction in the intestine: There are high chances of a total or partial obstruction in the intestine due to tumor growth, scar tissues or gall stones formation. This results in cramping, vomiting, bloating and digestion problems. Gastritis: If there is swelling in the stomach lining, then the individual...

A: “Acute abdomen” is the medical term used for pain in the abdomen that is sudden and severe. This is different from common abdominal pain, typically caused by minor issues such as constipation or gas. Because acute and severe abdominal pain may indicate a medical emergency, you should always call your doctor or go to an emergency room immediately when you have this type of pain....

A: 1. You might have some ulcers in your stomach or small intestine. Go back to your gastroenterologist and ask for more diagnostic testing like an endoscopy where they put a scope down your esophagus (while you are sedated) and look at your stomach lining. Edit: It''s my understanding that an upper GI is a series of Xrays taken after you drink a ghastly Barium solution. Reflux is often diagnosed in this way. 2. When I had the upper GI and they said I had acid reflux, I thought they had missed something as well. My symptoms were not extreme pain in my stomach, it was extreme pain in my chest. I described it that I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I would get extremely lightheaded, and found that If I...

A: 1. You may be allergic to something you eat, or just not have a great digestive system. whatever it may be, you should probably check it out with your doctor. Good luck :) 2. I have irritable bowel syndrome, and these things give me an IBS attack: untoasted bagel with loads of cream cheese Pesto sauce Alfredo sauce too much sparkling apple cider or apple juice (also heartburn) When I overdo it on these trigger foods/drinks, I get an IBS attack. I get the stomach pain, fever, panicking, and nausea and urgent need to use the bathroom. You should see a gastroenterologist to make sure. They''ll have to give you a colonoscopy, though....

A: Diet soda does that to me too...  especially on an empty stomach.  It is horrible.   The chest pain occurs when your stomach acid splashes up from your stomach and into your esophagus.  It can also come from spasms with in your esophagus itself.  Your esophagus is the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach and it lies in your middle chest area.  Many people confuse the pain that occurs with these issues with having a heart attack, it can be THAT intense.    That having been said, don''t ignore chest pain.  Talk with your doctor to make sure it is coming from acid reflux and get it treated.  If you have this kind of pain...

A: 1. I WOULD go back to the ER and let them know about your appointment on Monday. Tell them you''re in EXTREME pain. By common sense, I would think they''d give you an Ultrasound. How else can they say what''s happening inside your body? It is YOUR RIGHT to be seen and taken care of. If they don''t do this, I would SERIOUSLY go to a different ER. Doctors aren''t always right....
