Abdominal pain, tender to the touch, back pain, unable to take deep breath
Patient: I am experiencing upper abdominal pain tender to the touch feels like someone hit me in the gut. Hurts thru to my back. I am unable to take deep breaths it hurts so much. I am uninterested in food and cannot eat much feel full after eating small amounts. I am a 53 year old woman and I have already had my hall bladder removed Doctor: Hi Shelton,   Thanks for the query.   A chronic gastric ulcer or a gastritis is a possibility as your symptoms increase on eating food. You should probably get an upper Gastrointestinal endoscopy done.   A chronic H.Pylori may also be a cause.  A medical gastroenterologist would be able to help you with this.  Consider taking proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole. Eat bland diet, drink plenty of water.  Get well soon.
