Sent to Health Experts January 16 10:03 AM

for the last two nights I would wake up every couple hrs w a fever and stomach pains/cramps, I would be really hot and sweaty and then I would get really cold. This goes on through out the day, sometimes I feel ok and then the stomach pains come back. My stomach doesn''t really feel nausuos,however, I did throw up yesterday morning. it's more like sharp pains, almost like cramps. I've been eating alright, and I took some tums and advil last night, and it helped the pain for a little while. This morning I feel like I'm burning up even more. Do you have any idea what this might be? I've never felt like this before.

Hi,

What is the exact location of the abdominal pain ?
Any associated burning while urination ?
Any associated diarrhoea or constipation ?
Any other relevant medical history ?
Did you checked your temperature?
BP and pulse?

Reply to Dr Amit Munjal's Post: The pain is right above my belly button. I do not have any medical history relavent to this. I finally took my temperature today and I'm at 96.9 degrees, when I'm usually always 98.6. So I guess it's not a fever. I have no burning while I urinate and no diarea or constipation. But I feel really hot, and I'm still having some pains. Not sure about the blood pressure. Is there something over-the-counter I could try?

Hi,

The location of pain you describe is called as epigastric pain in medical language .
The epigastrium is the area of central abdomen lying just below the sternum and above the belly button .
There can be a variety of causes of epigastric pain like GERD , gastritis , peptic ulcers ,Gall stone etc ,pancreatitis to name a few .
As such if the pain is severe you should be seen by a doctor and an ultrasound of the abdomen may be done .
Also in the mean time you may take some OTC antacids like mylanta and if the pain is severe then antispasmodics to treat the pain would be needed .
Hope this helps
With regards
Dr Amit Munjal
