Maybe (not) . . .: Drinking to excess is never a good idea. But when someone complains of right lower quadrant pain, we always worry about appendicitis, especially if nausea/vomiting, fevers/sweats/chills, pain w/movement, pain that originally started around belly button.

Question 8

i feel like somthing is pulsing in my left uper abdomen abowe bulybuton.dont have pain & itsnt possible that i am pregnant. what could be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Aortic pulsation : I suspect what you are able to feel is the pulsation of the main blood vessel from heart. Does not mean pathology. In the overweight and under weight may be visible.

Question 9

have been having a throbbing sharp pain in lower right abdomen 4 2 months. sometimes it's barely there other times it's unbearable. no fever. causes?

Accepted Answer

Mittleschmerz: Sounds like mittleschmerz. Does it come generally mid-way between periods? If so it might be the egg, accompanied by a few drops of irritating blood, ejected from the ovary during the mid-cycle; to make way down the fallopian tube to uterus, and there to be fertilized.

Question 10

what are some causes of shoulder pain with pulsing on right side of head only? sometimes there is a headache or pain on right side of abdomen.

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Those three things occurring together are unusual things to be connected as being caused by the same thing. I could maybe see a muscular spasm in your shoulder and neck causing some head pain if your head muscles are also involved but it doesn't make sense to have your abdomen also involved. I'd see your doctor and have a more detailed conversation about these symptoms and possible treatments.
