What Causes Discomfort In The Lower Abdomen After A Treadmill Test?

I m an 81 yr old male who, with my attending cardiologist,on 10 October completed my annual Nuclear Stress Test. After spending 6+ minutes on the treadmill(Definitely not a pleasant experience) I am experiencing lower abdominal discomfort when I gently poke that sensitive area. Is this cause for concern or just one of the perks of my Golden Years ? Many thx for your response.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lower abdominal pain and discomfort what you are experiencing following treadmill could be due to abdominal muscle spasm. You can take the following supportive measures to overcome it.

1. Drink good quality of water and fruit juices, preferably citrus fruits like lime, orange or Moosambi.
2. Take oral rehydration solution regularly once a day.
3. Take antioxidant supplements containing Vitamin E and Selenium.

Considering your age, it would be better to avoid over-straining yourself by doing such exercise. If the symptoms does not subside by taking such measures, you need to seek medical attention by consulting your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
