Pain- severe: never try to have severe abdominal pain diagnosed online. Please close your computer and proceed to your closest ER or urgent care clinic- NOW!

Left stomach pain: May be gastritis./GERD with or without bacteria called H pylori . Could try ranitidine or prevecid and see if helps . May also be just gas/stool as the colon runs high.Rarely i have seen individuals with vascualr issues of the spleen . if you drink a lot of alcohol could be ppancreas. but that would not go away w/o mediacal intervention f/u w/ doc
