Reason For Sudden Onset Of Stomach Pain Leading To Sweating And Burping. Have On And Off Diarrhea

For about 3 months I have experienced a sudden onset of pain in the center of my stomach between my belly button and my ribs it lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes and ends just as suddenly. It hurts so bad I will break out into a sweat afterward I burp a lot. I have done this about 5 times. Along with it I have had Diarrhea off and on and I am usually having to take a stool softener about once a week to have a bowel movement but not in the last 3 months.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. What I can get from your history is you had constipation in past for which you used to take stool softeners. The pain comes and goes suddenly in the said area with sweating. The burping is after the attack. This looks to me a rare problem of Volvulus of the stomach, wherein the stomach rotates around its own axis. After derotation there is burping , The pain must be sudden and gives a feeling of nearing death. If this fits You have to undergo barium tests and all other investigations as per your Doctor's advise. He may add endoscopy and ultrasonography to the tests./
Avoid lying down immediately after food. Constipation is bad for such patients. Rare causes can be vascular insufficiency and pancreatitis .

Hi, I have read your query and according to my opinion this may be due to acid peptic disease ,so you should start PPI for 4-6 week.There may be due to cardiac ischemia so you should also get TMT.Thank you for using HCM.
