I have sudden onset of abdominal cramping which makes me short of breath (like someone is sitting on me). It is hard for me to walk because the cramping is so severe that I cannot stand up straight. Repositioning does not help nor does having a bowel movement.
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although you have not mentioned anything about your age, and other possible medical history, if I were your doctor, I would have performed a general physical examination along with a baseline ECG of yours, an ultrasound abdomen, and some routine blood tests like CBC, LFT, Blood sugar, serum amylase and a serum lipase. Further management would depend on the reports of clinical examination and investigations. Till that you can go for a proton pump inhibitor, a probiotic, I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
