For about two weeks I ve fullness and dull ache in upper abdomen. Today has moved to lower right abdomen. Heavy or spicy foods seem to make worse. No change in bowel movements. Due a colonoscopy next month. Should I schedule use appointment prior to then?
Most probably it could be a stomach related problem like peptic ulcer disease. As of now you can take over the dinner available antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole can be taken. An endoscopy is also required in addition to colonoscopy.
