Hello everyone, I have been dealing with abdominal and back pain for about a month now. It all started with a feeling of nausea, loss of appetite, loose stools and upper right quadrant pain pulling into my back. For the first week I thought it might be a stomach bug but it never really cleared up. Had to go to the ER twice due to pain in epigastric area and upper back and the second time I felt like I was having a heart attack because my chest was tight and had extreme pain in my Sternum. I had multiple blood panels, Chest X-rays and abdominal ultrasounds that came back clear. EGD showed a mild Gastritis in my Antrum, Schatzki Ring and 1cm Hiatal Hernia. Still waiting on my Biopsy results. The GE does not feel like my symptoms are caused by these findings. I have been on Protonix for 2 weeks now. Most days I feel better but I do get some pains every now and then still. Here's a list of my symptoms: • Epigastric area is sore and burning sensation sometimes pulling under my right rib cage • Burning around my belly button pulling to right side •right rib cage pain with pain under my right shoulder blade and sometimes pain in between shoulder blades •feeling of pressure in my throat Basically my whole right side of my upper body is aching. I'm worried it's something more serious and my anxiety is on overdrive right now. Anyone else dealing with the same symptoms?
anyone?
sounds like it could be a gallbladder issue although I would have thought that the CT scan would have picked that up.
thank you. I actually did not have a CT scan yet but gallbladder ultrasound came back all clear.
