What could back pain (on right side), dizziness and hiccups indicate?
Patient: i have lower back pain just on my right side, it hurts to sit to stand to lay to bend down to bend to the side no matter what i do it hurts, the longer i sit the more it hurts, i also get light headed when i stand up its kinda strange but i have had to hic cups five times today and three times yesterday which is unusual Doctor: Hi,The fact that it is accompanied by hiccups could be a mere coincidence, or at times related. Hiccups generally arise from the irritation of the muscle that separates the thorax from the abdomen, called the diaphragm. A chest x ray and proper physical examination would be useful. Kind regards
