Hello, I m a 35 yr old female. A little over a wk ago I suddenly became illl & woke up @2:30 in morning to chronic stomach pain & started dry reaching & vomiting non stop for bout 5hrs... Then stopped vomiting,.. but had ended up with very sore tummy for few days.. thn that went away but.. thn had this niggling pain in lower right abdominal pain on & off since. The pain in lower abdominal area has suddenly come bk & am feeling sick but haven t vomited... I have noticed tht it hurts to sit directly on my bottom or when I walk otherwise juss a dull constant ache. I have taken some Ibuprofen + codeine for the pain & the pain has somewhat subsided. I m normally very well & healthy most days.. I smoke up to 5 ciggies a day. Could you please help in trying to work out what could be wrong with me Plsssss... :(
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor, After going through the available details your abdominal pain vomiting may be caused by many reasons, and it requires proper history and physical examination. Commonly acid peptic disorder may be there like peptic ulcer, Gastritis, this is more so because of smoking. You should visit a Physician and after examination if necessary Upper G. I endoscopy should be performed, even ultrasonography of abdomen may give clue to the cause of pain in abdomen. Ibuprofen itself can cause Chat Doctor. Treatment depends on cause of your symptoms. Please stop smoking as it makes treatment difficult and itself can cause APD. Hope this helps. Take care. Good Luck.
