hi Dr, I have been under severe lightning pain around the upper stomach and around the side areas. Sometimes the pain travels to shoulder and back as well. When the pain comes around stomach i feel like tightness in that area. Please suggest how do i go about diagnosis and treatment/
Hello, As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required including an ultrasound scan. We have to rule out possible causes like renal colic and pancreatitis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
