I took my boyfriend to the ER the night before last for uncontrolled abdominal pain with no relief of using pepto bismol, tums and Tylenol. He is also nauseated, headaches come and go and has really bad acid reflux. The doctor diagnosed with dyspepsia, She gave him reglan, protonix and a GI cocktail. The doctor did say that his WBC was elevated It has been two days and he continues to have discomfort/pain , acid reflux, nausea and abdominal pain. He has had no vomiting and diarrhea ... His follow up appointment with PCP isn t for a few more days. He isn t eating but one small bowl of broth a day and is drinking sprite and water throughout.
Hi. Thanks for your information about your boyfriend. The picture of raise WBC indicate that there is n inflammatory process going on in the stomach, and it can be appendicitis presenting with the symptoms you have suggested. I would advise you to take him back to the ER and get a CT scan and other tests done to find out the cause and get treated according to the clinical picture and the reports of investigations.
