Upper Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Back Pain
I’m a 27 year old male and for the past two months I’ve been dealing with upper abdominal pain, nausea, and back pain.
The upper abdominal pain is mostly right where my stomach is, but I often get the feeling of pain radiating to my left and right side just at the bottom of my ribcage, almost like a burning sensation.
The nausea can come and go. I noticed it gets worse when I drink caffeine or eat certain foods (junk mostly).
The back pain is mostly in the upper to center back. It’s like a low dull pain that can get worse if I move or sit in a certain way. I also noticed my upper back feels warm and tingly and sensitive. Almost like a mild sunburn.
I’ve also had some constipation lately.
I have gotten extensive blood tests and everything came back great. Normal lipase and amylase, CRP is perfect, liver enzymes are perfect. White blood count is perfect. Iron and iron binding is perfect.
And I have yet to have any of the concerning red flags. No jaundice, no vomiting, no oily or black stools, no diarrhea.
My doctor told me I should be taking Omeprazole, so for the past couple weeks I’ve been taking that, and I have noticed a noticeable improvement in a couple ways, namely the pain and the nausea. The upper abdominal pain went from a 7/10 to maybe a 3/10, and the nausea I’d probably say the same. The back pain got a fair bit better for the past week and a half or so but the past couple days it’s gotten worse.
So what’s wrong with me fellas?
