What causes severe pain in abdomen?
Patient: Hi, my stomach has been painful since this morning. I felt hungry this morning first, because of the pain, then I ate some food, but the pain continues. Then I felt full. I took the medicine called soothe compare to pepto-bismol. 2 doses, but didn t seem help. Doctor: HI.Your history is saying you had pain in the morning and you got hungry due to it.This suggests the possibility of an Acid Peptic Disease, which can be gastritis or duodenitis or so. The non-response to the food and the medicines you took indicate a possibility of a Gastric or Duodenal ulcer or pancreatitis or cholecystitis.I would advise you to be nil orally- meaning do not take anything orally as you need to undergo ultrasonography of the abdomen, Upper GI Endoscopy and other blood examination including Liver functions and Lipase , Amylase enzymes, sugar, kidney functions and so on. Get admitted in the hospital.
