What Could Abdomen Pain With Burping And Dry Mouth Suggest?

Hi just a query,I get random pain in the left side of my abdomen about 2 inches left of my belly button. The pain is slightly sharp but is more of a stitch or contraction, and only lasts about 30 seconds to a minute.This pain is random and i can go hours without having them and eating doesnt seem to affect it.Although i around the same time as this pain comes i get reflux issues such as burping, a really dry mouth after sleeping.A few weeks after i get the pain i lose my appetite and turn off food.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Pain in the left side of the abdomen just 2 inches left of belly button lasting 30 seconds, not affected by eating, but have reflux and burping with pain, dry mouth after sleeping, with loss of appetite indicate the following reasons:
Acid peptic disease with GERD.
I would advise you to undergo Upper GI endoscopy and ultrasonography.
Once the diagnosis is made go for the proper treatment of PPI, Antacid, soft bland diet. for 3 months and you may be fine.
If no relief, CT scan and Diagnostic laparoscopy may be required.
