What Causes Sharp Pain In My Upper Abdominal And Back Area With Sweating?
I was just sitting here and all of a sudden had a sharp pain in my upper abdominal and back area. I couldn t lay flat or anything I started sweating. I was burping alot. Tried to use bathroom that was a no go because of the pain in stomach. The only kind of relief was in a fetal position rocking back and forth. It lasted for about 15-20 mins. I am on my period. I do have endometriosis. But this felt totally different. What do you think that it is?
Hi. Thanks for your query and a classical history of severe pain in the upper abdomen and the back with sweating and getting a bit relief only in the fetal position...
I would suggest you the following with a proper reasoning : Urgent ECG as this can be due to cardiac problem. Urgent Ultrasonography - this can be due to colic of pancreatic duct or bile ducts due to stone or acute pancreatitis. Blood tests for liver function tests, amylase and lipase.
Ct scan to confirm if the ECG is normal. Get admitted to undergo further treatment and observation and investigations as may be needed.
