Pain in my upper quadrant |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I have been having pain in my upper quadrant and I have seen 2 doctors one told me I have acid reflux and the other told me I have a hiatal hernia. I don't think either one is right.I have had blood drawn,urine sample taken and everything came back normal.My symptoms are bloating,pain under ribs,pain when I eat,dizziness,swelling in my stomach and upper quadrant,vomiting,nausea,and exhaustion. What is going on? Dear Michelle: Your symptoms maybe due to acid reflux which typically presents with pain in the upper abdomen along with a burning feeling. Hiatus hernia is one of the causes of the same.However I would also like to rule out a possible inflammation of the gall bladder ie cholecystitis which can also present similarly. You need to get an ultrasound of the abdomen along with a upper gi endoscopy to take a closer look at your stomach wall and determine the cause. I hope this helps. |
