What might be causing my symptoms?
26M. I've been dealing with abdominal pain and other issues consistently for over a year at this point and I haven't been able to get any good answers from doctors and the tests/scans they've had me do. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing these symptoms?
Symptoms:
- Sore/tight upper abdominal pain
- Pulsing/twitching in my stomach
- The right side of my neck and shoulder is swollen, and gets worse when my abdominal pain is worse, but seems to constantly be at least slightly swollen
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- It affects my breathing and it's harder to get a full breath when the pain gets worse.
- My symptoms get worse when I'm warm (such as in the shower, or outside on a hot day). And also when I lay down on my left side
- Occasionally it will feel like my stomach "drops" and I'll get very lightheaded and dizzy, but it only lasts for a few seconds
Test/scans I've had:
Abdominal ultrasound and CT
Endoscopy and colonoscopy
Neck ultrasound and MRI
Celiac panel
SIBO test
H pylori test
Loads of bloodwork
