I have been battling N/V, sharp epigastric area pain, heaviness in upper medial quadrant, swelling of abdomen, noted on ct scans enlarged stomach & 3rd portion duodenum area. Have been trying to r/o Superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Had every test done possible. I had extensive wt loss, now gained up to 100#., Any ideas? Yes, I am a nurse. Thx, Please help with directions, to turn. Feels very heavy in central chest, thought I was having MI. Any direction would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JJ
Thank you Stephanie~
Yes I have had a hidascan & the Gallbladder is great. I am not getting as nauseated as prior to the wt gain, but I have this unbearable heaviness, almost heartburn feeling in my upper midline gastric region. I take alot of prilosec which does not alleviate the symptoms, just a tad bit more manageable. Both Endoscopies were done, nothing noted on the upper, a few polyps on lower. I am seeing a vascular surgeon now, just waiting on previous tests & images(films) to arrive from the Mayo clinic to his office. I am bloated like an airfilled baloon, its just ridiculous. I appreciate all of your help and considerations. I guess I should check female organs to, I had cervical Ca years ago. My familial cancer is another concern of mine. Anyhow, you are wonderful, I Thank you very, very much~
Best to you,
JJ Miller
PS I have had every test for the GI possible already done, just no one can understand what's causing the stomach & Duodenum to be enlargeed. :) THX!
