Abdominal Pain, Burning Sensation And Sharp Pain, Severe Headaches, Chills. What Is It?

I have been experiencing abdominal pain in the middle of the abdomen for about 3 weeks now on and off, it worsens when I eat certain foods, lessens when I eat saltine crackers. Its a burning sharp pain followed by chills throughout my body with severe headaches as well. It comes on goes and I never know when I will feel it again. My lower back pain is also associated in this. The episodes will last somewhere between 10 minutes to hours. Can you tell me what's going on?

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

It would appear you are suffering from a peptic ulcer disease. Peptic ulcer disease generally is caused by a bacterium called H. pylori which causes inflammation of the gastric mucosa resulting in peptic ulcer diseases. Certain food particularly worsens peptic ulcer symptoms.

The pain produced radiates posteriorly to the back with a typical burning and crampy pains that might be associated with headaches and dizziness given you the characteristic picture of what you are experiencing.

Peptic ulcer disease is usually treated by
-first of all eradicating the bacteria by combination of drugs ( dependent on the prescribing doctor),
-use of antacids ( aluminum hydroxide tablets etc),
- avoiding food that provoke pain, pepper and spicy foods
-regular eating,
-avoiding alcohol and drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin etc.

However, you should consider seeing your local doctor for detail examination and investigations.

Hope this helps you.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
