Experiencing sharp burning pain in the side & front of the stomach area
Patient: i have diabetes, i have extrem high blood pressure 4 meds for it, i have sharp buring pain in my side or in front of the stomach area. It is a sudden buring pain with out warining. It last seconds but the pain sends me to my knees or makes me stand up and become verbal because of the degree of discomfort. On a scale of 10 twenty mins. ago I had an 7 or 8 buring sensation andserious pain this has been going on now for several months. Last year had a xray of my left side and stomach nothing was found but the sudden pain and buring still continues.. Doctor: Hi. It sounds like gastritis. Drugs like pantoprazole will help. However in view of diabetes even cardiac or heart problems can mimic this condition. If it recurs plz do an ECG. Take omeprazole and observe for 12 hrs. Take care.
