I am 37 years old, female , and have had a dull ache in the upper left side of my back for about 5 days. At times it makes me feel slightly nausea . I have had blood work and an EKG in the last month due to a fainting episode and they botChatDoctore back fine. I am not sure if I should head back to my doctor or wait it out a few more days.
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Do you have difficulty in breathing/ cough/ chest pain? Do you have pain aggravation after eating meals? Do you have acidic belching/ abdominal heaviness? You pain location suggest some kind of chest pathology while association with vomiting suggests gastric problem. You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up. You should go for chest x-ray, endoscopy, serum amylase along with liver function test. You should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics for improvement of symptoms. Take care,
