Suggest Remedy For Abdomen Pain
I've been having for nearly one year a pain on my upper abdomen. When it started, it was very sharp and sent me to the hospital. There I got blood tests and ultra sonography on the stomach, liver, kidneys, etc and nothing unusual was found. I was treated with protonix and sent home. Went to see a Gastroenterologist, had an endoscopy done, no ulcers, nothing strange in the stomach, just a mild hiatal hernia found. Followed treatment, diet, lost 30 pounds and the symptoms improved....however, no solution was found, and sometimes it STILL hurts, though not nearly as intense. And I still have blood in the saliva when I wake up in the mornings. Any idea what this could be? Anybody? I'm now 31, 171 lbs and 6'0 tall. Never had any serious illnesses in the past, other than constirpation when I was little and some sinus.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Is there any relation to the food?
What are the relieving factors and aggravating factors?
IF the ultrasonography , endoscopy and other tests area normal, think hiatus hernia causing this symptom.
A diagnostic laparoscopy may give some ides.
CT scan of the chest and the upper abdomen to see the lung or pleura problem giving referred pain is also a possibility.
Blood in the saliva in the morning can have local factors as fum infection or throat infection causing enlarged veins can cause this. Get an opinion of an ENT or Oral Surgeon.
Continue Protonix
