Question 1

my 14 yr old son gets daily heartburn no matter what he eats. normal upper and lower gi scope. slight pain left side of stomach when applying pressur?

Accepted Answer

Possible stress.: Since you mentioned he had a normal upper and lower GI scope, he must be seeing a gastroenterologist. Is he on any medication? Did he get tested for bacteria during the endoscopy? Stress is one of the most common causes of this symptom, which is from excess acid production. I would recommend that you discuss this again with his doctor.

Question 2

stomach virus over a wk? pain left side neck under jaw; not eust. tube. hydrated, no temp, nausea, cramps, fatigue, low appetite, heartburn, burping.

Accepted Answer

Nausea sore throat: This could be many things. Too many to review here. See your healthcare provider ASAP. Stay hydrated. Best if luck. Dr R

Question 3

i experience burning chest pain, left side. is it heartburn?

Accepted Answer

Your chest pain: You need to get an ekg and a chest xray. Perhaps other workup as your dr reccomends.

Question 4

how can you differentiate pericarditis symptoms from just severe heartburn? bad chest pain left side, worse when laying down and breathing in.

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist: I would recommend for you to go to a cardiologist. He will probably get an EKG and depending on its findings recommend particular managements. Interestingly enough the treatment for pericarditis would worsen gastritis since it is basically NSAIDS.

Good Luck

Question 5

have costosharp pain left side top breastbone twisted body felt like something popped in middle of chest and pain disappeared since is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Pop goes the Cart...: It sounds like  a pretty good description of pain from the area of the cartilaginous junction between the ribs and the breastbone. This type of pain can come and go for seemingly no apparent reason, although twisting movements could be a contributing factor. Although medical treatment is not generally necessary, if concerns arise, a consultation with a specialist might allay your fears.

Question 6

sharp stabbing pain left side of chest 1-2 ribs below breast. started yesterday. noticed some small swelling today that is sensitive to touch.  hurts to breathe, raise left arm, bend, twist, cough, laugh. 36 y/o male. was driving when it hit suddenly and

Accepted Answer

Go see ur FamilyDoc: Sensitivity to touch makes me think of zoster/shingles (http://goo.gl/TaqS6s). Without that, I think of pleurisy which could due to pneumonia. Perhaps you overdid one of your upper body exercise routines (although this shouldn't usually cause pleurisy or painful breathing). Bottom line, you need to see your Family Doc for complete &amp; thorough evaluation.

Question 7

what to do for sudden sharp pain left side of chest?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Chest pain, especially left sided can be the result of cardiac disease. Please see your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 8

pain left side abdomen what could be a reason for that?

Accepted Answer

: First thought is stool retention/constipation. With no more information than that posted it is not possible to provide much of an answer. You are welcome to start over with a description of what character of pain (dull/sharp/pulsing) how long its been there, past attempts to treat, aggravating or palliative factors, etc. With more information a more specific answer could be formed. Or see your doc
