Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been not feeling well since around Nov/Dec. I have had many tests and was recently diagnosed with a kidney stone after a CT scan. I had surgery (after taking pills to try to pass on my own) to remove the kidney stone, but the doctor found nothing (probably passed it). In this process of tests, I was also diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, but I think I have probably had this since I was young (it explains a lot of why I have had issues in the past). I thought I was feeling better and suddenly I began to feel nauseous again (that symptom had been coming and going for several months - almost like morning sickness - but I am not pregnant). I have had some of the discomfort in my lower left side that I had when I had the kidney stone and still have discomfort in my back (not like before though). I have been living on crackers and ginger ale and trying to eat when I am feeling better; just to have a meal. I am just tired of feeling ill all the time. I am not one who has ever been sick in the past and I honestly am not one to go to the doctor. Do you have any suggestions???
When the recent CT has shown cleared stone, the current symptoms must be a gastric upset with mimicking of kidney stone presentations.
Better outline for finer recovery
- more liquids intake
- urinary alkaliser in case of burning discomfort
- antacid as ranitidine (300 mg) sustained release tablet at night time
- dietary measures to avoid spices, non veg till possible
- avoid stress, anxiety
Follow up the same for 5 days and report later as per convenience and concern.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
