What Causes Discomfort And Heaviness In Right Upper Side Of Abdomen?
Dr.,This is a 19 year old girl, a medical student from Kolkata .I qm pretty much overweight by 20 kgs. For the past 4-5days I have been noticing some amount of discomfort in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. The region feels heavy. I consulted a doctor in college and he suggested that I go for a full abdomen USG. It is only then he shall be able to diagnose the condition. But I am in the mid of my 1st professional Examination which shall not end before the end of this month . Therefore immediate USG wouldn t be a possibility. it would be kind of you if you could give a rough estimate as to what all could have happened and what precautions I must take in order prevent it from aggravating further till I go for the USG and a proper treatment.
Welcome at HCM i have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.... Based upon the history you have provided it is difficult to pinpoint the pathology ..is there any association with food intake? Is your pain radiating to shoulder tip or to epigastrium? Are you feeling pain on empty stomach ? If I will be your attending physician I will look for gall stones on ultrasound .I will also screen you for H .pylori infection too. All you need is to stay calm and use Omeprazole 40mg daily before breakfast... U can also use acetaminophen to relieve pain... Meet your doctor after your exam Regards Dr saad sultan
