Q: Abdominal Aches / pains .

Hi there! I am a 21 year old male, 5'4", 110lbs, non-smoker, rare drinker.

Nearly three weeks ago, I began to have daily stomach pains around the naval and off to the left side just under the rib (as if someone was pinching or pulling my gut) after dining at a Swiss Chalet restaurant. My stool is sometimes normal or I have diarrhea. I've been to my GP, he pressed on my stomach and listened with his stethoscope but felt nothing, so he sent me off for blood, urine and stool tests. All came back with nothing significant. My weight hasn't changed nor has my appetite. No nausea or vomiting.

I am also getting these mild head aches around the temples and eyes, but I'm not sure if it's caused by sinus congestion (I always feel mucus in the back of my throat, post-nasal drip is it called?) or maybe my 3 1/2 year old prescription specs which I am making an appointment with my optometrist this week.

I am making another appointment with my GP tomorrow for further tests, but am looking for more insight on these symptoms.

Thankyou, all is appreciated.
