Abdominal Pain Answer A4557
Current medical status: Basically I have had a stomach pain in my lower right stomach that has been going on and off for about 2 or 3 weeks. Its usually bad mid to late morning. Also, when I first get up in the morning my lower back is really still and it feels like I have to walk like a hunch back. And lately I have started to feel shortness of breath mostly first thing in the monring, like on the way to work in the car it wil feel like I am not getting enough air. And also after work walking up the stairs to the parking gargage.
Current medical treatment: None yet

It is very hard to explain your symptoms without making certain basic medical investigations. You can take a few standard medical tests at your primary health provider: physical examination (inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation), standard blood analyses (blood count, sedimentation, hemoglobin, AST, ALT, AP, CRP, urea, creatinin…), urine analyses, ECG, etc. Later, if necessary, you might be referred to an abdominal ultrasound.

You may schedule a doctor’s appointment.
