Hi. For the past few months I have been having these weird pains. They are very sharp and random. I thought it may have to do with certain foods, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
The pain usually occurs 3-4 times a month, the pain is sharpest in my lower left abdomen; however, it is painful in my whole front stomach area from my chest to my lower abdomen. I feel nausious (sp?) when the pain occurs, but I never actually vomit. I can ease the pain by laying completly straight. The pain usually lasts for less than 5 minutes, it comes really quickly, and it dissapears quickly. Does this sound like gallstones or ulcers?! I'm don't have much knoweledge on the human body, so I don't know if it could be kidneys, livers, gallstones etc.. I'm 19 years old, and normal weight for my height. My boyfriend mentioned that it could be stress ulcers. Any ideas would be appreciated!!
