Swelling In The Stomach After Alcohol Consumption, Vomiting Blood. Normal Ultrasound And Blood Test Reports. Will A CT Scan Be Helpful?
Hi Mr Grief. i have a swelling right across the base of my stomach after having a bad reaction to to alchol and throwing up blood. i have had blood tests done and a ultra sound done and both have come back as clear, would a ct scan reveal if i have something secious wrong. i weight 14st 10lbs but have a waist measurement of 48 inches which i cant explain as i eat well 95% of the time. i limit the bad food i eat to an absolute minimum. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The first thing to do in a swelling of stomach is to do endoscopy and take a biopsy...
Varicosity has to be excluded...
A CT scan helps – the extent, exact location, adjacent areas, lymph nodes and so on / far more in detail than ultrasound...
A waist measurement of 48 inches is morbid obesity – you need help from an Internist...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
