What causes dull pain in the left abdomen?
Answered by
Needs proper evalaution
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
First of all do not be worried or panicked until the diagnosis has been made.
The most probable reasons for your symptoms may be related to the following:
Pain in left side of abdomen, mid and upper back may be due to gastritis or pancreatitis.
Left shoulder pain be due to local causes of joint or rarely referred one due to abdominal condition.
If the pain is now radiating to the right side of abdomen and lower back may be due to spread of the process.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
X-ray of abdomen.
Tests of stool, urine and blood.
Clinical evaluation and examination to help further.
All these things will lead to a proper diagnosis which in turn leads to proper management.
Please give additional information for me to assist you further:
Since when is the problem present?
Any changes in stool and urine?
Any bloating, nausea, vomiting hard or loose stools?
Any other information please.
As detailed.
Detailed Answer:
Bad chest cold, deep cough, left backache started about a week ago and may indicate flu; may be without fever hence even lifting a baby caused you backache.
Bloating can again be due to the same.
I think a symptomatic treatment with Paracetamol and/or Ibuprofen and any other medications should hell you but needs to be under medical guidance as you may be breast feeding the baby.
Take bed-rest as much as you can.

MD hi, i went to the ER on saturday due to heart palpitations that started about 2 weeks ago.. and then about a week ago my arms would fall asleep while i was sleeping, waking me up, then on wednesday i woke up with shoulder pain near my collar bone... it still hasnt went away and now i woke up today and the pain has traveled down my arm between my arm pit and elbow on the bottom side of my arm. When i was at the ER they did 2 ecg's, which were normal, blood test, and a chest xray. The doctor had thought it was a blood clot in my lung possibly, but after the blood test came back he said it wasnt. Pretty much i didnt get any answers and im worried. As far as the heart palpitations go, he didnt know what was causing them so he just told me to stop drinking caffeine. Could you please give me any insight as to what you might think it could be. I also quit smoking on wednesday when i woke up with the sholder pain. And im extremely stressed, because when i was at the ER the doctor told me i "could die" (when told i might have a blood clot in the lung) ..i have anxiety as it is.. and hearing that completely stressed me out.. my hear rate was 122 at the hospital because i was so scared, and since then, i havent been able to sleep well, i keep waking up in the middle of the night. I am a 22 year old female.
