What Causes Left-sided Abdominal Pain While Sneezing?
Eerytime I sneeze I get a sharp pain in my left side of my belly. Like im being punched. I am 30 years old and over weight. I do have gall bladder problems. It feels a little swollen too. The pain is strong enough that it almost drops me to my knees. Is this a pulled mustle or my gall bladder acting up or something worse?
Hii , Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
Abdominal pain while coughing/sneezing can arise from a variety of reasons. It could range from a strained muscle as a result of sneezing to a serious Disease
However there are variety of medical conditions which may cause this including constipation, acid reflux or colon disorders , kidney and liver disorders, disorders of the abdominal blood vessels or intestinal obstruction Further more we can not deny the possibilities of A hernia which causes pain in abdomen especially on coughing,sneezing , crying or lifting weight as these activities increase intra-abdominal pressure
but As you already mentioned you had gall bladder issue so Definitely your pain may be related to gall bladder if it has any pathology and it should be evaluated as soon as possible
so it needs thorough medical check up and investigations to spot a confirm diagnosis and i would strongly suggest you to see a your dr , he will check you thoroughly and may go for all necessary medical investigations to rule out any underlying medical condition
I hope it help Thanks & Get well Soon
