for the pst 6 days i have been haing upper abdome distress ... i have had gall bladder surgery 2 yrs ago ..in the past 2 yrs when i get these bouts .. i go to emerg they run cardiograms xrays ,blood work ,all comes back normal ...im stressing out over this as im scared every time it happens im having a heart attack wht is it ?
Hi. Thanks for your query, read and understood your problems. You are getting bouts of pain in the upper abdomen within the last 2 years particularly after the gall bladder surgery. This is a great news that cardiac problems are ruled out by the tests every time in the emergency Room.
This means that we have to find a local cause in the abdomen itself. I would suggest the following: Get Ct scan and MRCP for the hepato-biliary- pancreatic system . Also go for upper GI Endoscopy to rule out Gastric ulcer . cancer. Colonoscopy for the possible problem of the colon in this area. If required a diagnostic Laparascopy may help to see or rule out the intestinal adhesion due to bands or kinking or so and can be tackled at the same time.
This way a final diagnosis and treatment plan can be done to get you permanent results.
