Question 4

why am i having sharp pain left side of stomach near belly button?

Accepted Answer

Need more info!: Abdominal pain can be an emergency to a mild problem. Let's begin by seeing your primary care doctor. I can't even recommend otc meds because: i don't know enough about your symptoms; i don't know if you have tried anything. The shortcut. See your doc. If you have none- a walk in clinic! but one thing. Pain near the belly button suggests a small intestinal cause!

Question 5

last night i woke up in agony unbearable sudden pain left side of my stomach & under the rib cage i had a short vaginal bleed also what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Severe abdominal pains should not be taken lightly. Left upper quadrant of the abdomen has the pancreas, one kidney, part of the stomach part of the lung, part of the small and large intestines and the spleen. In addition, there's the rib, muscles and even sometimes the heart. This is no place to make such decision. Please visit your doctor and be evaluated for proper treatment.

Question 6

pain left side of stomach but feels like gas because its moving also noticed spots of blood on tissue?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Bleeding from any orifice needs to be evaluated. It may be as simple as hemorrhoids, however, bleeding from hemorrhoids can make you anemic. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an examination.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

sharp stabbing pain left side of lower stomach and lower back pain. what could it be?

Stomach is just: Under left rib cage. Lower could be colon, or if pain radiates from back check for kidney stone. Any other symptoms associated with urination? See pcp bring urine first mornings.

Question 10

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.
