Tenderness on the right side of abdomen and dizziness
Posted , 4 users are following.
Last Wednesday night suddenly I notice the right side of my abdomen is tender and felt swollen since the next day I noticed extreme light headedness and no matter how much fluids I drink my mouth stays dry. The pain tenderness is on the upper right side but now when I press in around the belly it feels tender.
I went to the hospital yesterday and they did blood work which apparently came back normal and said I probably have IBS. But just last night I noticed blood in my saliva which is scaring me!
What could I do?

First thing you need to do is what was recently told to me.
Don't panic.
I posted yesterday about the pain in my lower right abdomen, and I've had the full battery of blood tests which showed an unusual liver enzyme spike (which returned for normal post Christmas), and a private ultrasound which revealed that my organs look unremarkable (good) but I have a slightly fatty liver. Likely due to the diet choices of the past 30 years, but I've been working on my cholesterol by eating leaner meats and more greens.
I'm not sure what's happening with my body at the minute, but they thought it was contipation back in March/April as I had some bowel (pooping) issues. I'm passing regular stools again so I'm not sure whats going on.
My current worry is that I wake up in the morning either sore, or having no appetite at all. That's concerning me.
When you say there's blood in your saliva how much blood? Do you feel any pain in your chest?

I don't feel pain in the chest but the blood is red, when I wash my mouth out with water it clears but a few hours later it's bloody again.

Check my comment history for the post I replied to yesterday. It dealt with the same issues were both having.

This can't be normal I am dizzy and can't stand, have no appetite and spitting blood!
I asked why they didn't do a CT or ultrasound scan and they said it's not needed. Should I request my doctor for ct/ultrasound anyway?

Ask your GP about possible IBS.
