What Is The Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain?
I am a 19 yr old female. I started having upper abdominal pain a week ago. It began as just pressure on right side between ribs and I began frequent belching. This pain seemed to come and go, but as the days passed it's gotten worse and always seems to be there. Also, the belching relives serious pressure but they sounds very strange. All blood tests, ultrasounds and an endoscopy came back completely normal. The GI doctor prescribed me dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day but this doesn't seem to help. This is extremely uncomfortable and I'm beginning to panic, but no doctors can seem to figure out what's wrong with me. can you help?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Upper abdominal pain- 1 week- began as pressure on right side - belching - intermittent - worsening day by day and now permanent - belching relieves serious pressure- strange sound - Endoscopy, blood tests and ultrasonography are normal as seen by a Gastroenterologist - Dicyclomin without results - Usually such a picture comes in sub-acute intestinal obstruction.
I would advise you to have the following:
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
CT scan of the abdomen if required.
Liquid diet and an addition of the Medicines like Domperidone, Ranitidine and so on.
