Suggest Medication For Acute Stomach Pain With History Of AFIB And Hernia
I suddenly came down with an acute stomach and upper left side of my body ache last night. It feels like I was hit with a bowling ball. The pain is now nearly 24 hrs without ebbing. I ran a fever of 99.9-100.1 but that has dropped down to normal. I belch a lot. I have atrial fib and I once had a hernia behind my belly button repaired at my appendectomy but the surgeon said it probably wouldn t hold because he just stitched it, no webbing used. I recently was on Optifast and lost 90 lbs in 6 months. I weigh 261 now. I am diabetic.
