What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain In A Hypertension Person?

My co-work is 57, female, smokes and has high blood pressure. For the past 3 months she has had lower abdominal pain that forced her to double over and leave work most days at 2 pm. About two weeks ago the pain became constant and so severe she went to the ER. She has had these tests done, all with unremarkable results: CAT scan of abdomen, colonoscopy, vaginal ultrasound. She has lost nearly 30 pounds in the past month and is extremely thin. I am concerned for her life at this point. She has not been able to come to work for the past 10 days. She is vomiting and can t keep food or liquids down. Can you point her in the right direction to get the needed medical diagnosis. Thank you.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

She should consider asking her doctor for a referral to a gastroenterologist for assessment.
A gastroenterologist specializes in conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract and may be able to assess her and determine what is the cause of her pain.

I hope this helps
