Painful stomach ache, what is the cause?!


Question: Painful stomach ache, what is the cause!?
It's been three times already since my boyfriend has experienced excruciating stomach pains!. Today was the first time I saw it happen!.
He says it starts with some back pain and cold sensations, then he feels the need to pass gas!. He starts burping and then the stomach pain comes!.
He says it's like having lots of gas in his stomach and he can't make it go away, then he starts getting pain as if his stomach was being stabbed, I offered to take him to the doctor but about 15 minutes later it was gone!.

What could cause this!?
Any information is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Is his pain relieved after passing a lot of wind!?

Cramping, which can be very painful, is rarely serious if it is relieved by passing gas or a stool!.

Generalized cramping pain is usually not a cause for concern unless it gets worse, lasts for longer than 24 hours, or localizes!. Cramping that starts suddenly with diarrhea or other minor health problems can be quite painful but is usually not serious!.

Having said that, yes, you're right to get him to see his doctor, as only a professional can examine him and diagnose his condition properly!. It is impossible to say for certain what he has on here, but I mention the above just to let you see it can have a simple cause!.

Pain that increases with movement or coughing and does not appear to be caused by strained muscles is more likely to be a symptom of a serious problem!.

All the best to you both, and I hope bf feels much better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends on age!. If he's older(past 35), it could be his heart!. Heart problems are related to stomach problems!. If so, don't let them prescribe just anti acids!. He needs to have a stress test!.

If young, it could be gal bladder or gal bladder attack!. Extremely painful (experience)!. The thing you want to be concerned about with gal bladder attacks is not only is it painful, but could create situations where the stones block the pancreas ducts causing the person to have pancreatis!. This can lead to death or permanant diabetes (pancreas shuts down)!.

In both cases, be sure to get him medical help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like trap gas!. there not really to much you can do about you could
take some antacid but It wont help to much if it keep hurting them you both might want to see a doctor so they can give you the right meds!. for itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just see if it happens again, if it does, take him to the doc!. I guess it could just have been gas, but you don't know until you actually get it checked out, I guess!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you should try to take come over the counter medicine like TUMS or some other stomach ache, passing gas curing medicine!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do not know what this ailment could be but get him to the dr and he will allay his fears as to what it might be!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I suspect he may be Lactose Intolerant!.

I know if I overdo it on the dairy, I get severe gas and stabbing pains just like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gas, constipation!. Maybe gas, diarrhea!. Mostly just gas!. Have him eat more fiber!.

food poisoning or indigestion is my guessWww@Answer-Health@Com

Constipation!.!.!. and if he is dehydrated it would cause the stabbing pains along with the cold sweats!. He should see a doctor though because it could be something much worse Www@Answer-Health@Com

get some gas relief tablets and start eating more fiberWww@Answer-Health@Com

gal bladder!? (sp!?)Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe your diet or something you might have eaten!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

As unusual as it sounds, it could be his gallbladder!. He might be passing stones!. I had to have mine removed several years ago and it sounds like he is going through the same pain I was!. It could also be his kidneys!. He really needs to get it looked at by a doctor!. They will run tests and find out what is actually causing it!.


Just to add!.!.!.You said you ate McDonalds!.!.!.certain foods will bring on an attack! for me, it was tacos!. I would definately tell him to have it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
