Severe abdominal pain between ribs and pain radiates in a circle to my back
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello
I have had abdominal pain for around 18 years on and off. I get severe pain in between my ribs which makes me feel really Ill and the pain radiates in a circle around my back.
Certain foods I know trigger it off which I avoid totally but despite me doing this I still get frequent pain a few times a week at least and for the last few weeks I have had it nearly every day.
When really bad, it can make me pass out and feel very sick.
Doctors seem to be baffled as to what it is, all I want it to know what it could be and what I could take when I do get it to stop the pain and feeling so Ill.
I try and take buscopan and painkillers but they just don't touch it. The only thing that helps is an extremely hot water bottle I put on my stomach, but it has to be so hot to actually do anything my stomach has burn Marks on it through the amount of times I have had to do this.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you

It sounds like heartburn triggered by acid reflux. An endoscopy is warranted in your case. Consult a gastroenterologist.
You may find relief with PPIs like Nexium and antacids likd Gaviscon.
