Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I understand your worries.
The abdominal pain you are having and which is intermittent, might be related to possible GI problems. Therefore, further investigations are needed to find out the real cause:
- abdominal ultrasound to exclude bowel problems
- upper endoscopy to exclude stomach issues
- chest X-ray to exclude stomach and lungs problems
- complete blood work to exclude anemia or other blood disorders
- biochemical testing (electrolytes, kidney/liver/pancreas function tests to exclude deficiencies, kidney/liver/pancreas problems respectively)
- urine analysis to exclude urinary tract infections/stones/sludge
- vaginal swab testing to exclude genital issues
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
Meanwhile, I advise to:
- increase water intake to prevent dehydration
- take mephenamic acid for the pain
- eat often and small portions
- avoid foods that can trigger or aggravate your symptoms
All the best!

Trauma during the fall is another cause...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX
Having experienced a big fall on your face/stomach is another cause to the pain due to injury during the fall.
Apart abdominal organs, your vertebral spine might be injured too. Such injury might have involved the nerves passing by; and make you feel the sensation of pain as you have been experiencing.
If you had any abdominal ultrasound or urine analysis done, and everything is ok, then, nothing to worry about serious problems. It is due to the trauma during the fall. It will be subside by time.
I advise to take mephenamic acid or acetaminophen to reduce the pain.
If you notice the pain being aggravated, should consult with your doctor for further evaluation as mentioned earlier.
Wish fast recovery!

Nothing to be nervous...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
It should be further investigated before deciding for surgery. Abdominal ultrasound is needed to evaluate gallbladder condition. Liver/pancreas/kidney function tests are needed to get these organs specifically examined.
After a more specific investigation, it will be decided on surgery.
Do not become nervous. Try to take things easily and peacefully, and you will overcome every problem.
All the best!

MD I am a 56yr old Paraplegic male, recently I have had a bout of pneumonia which I am 99% over, however since I've been sick I have developed an ectopic heart beat. I have discussed this with my GP and have had an ECG which showed up the irregularity , however I'm still stressing over this. When I have one of these attacks, I have a funny feel wave over me.
