Appendix, Appendicitis, Gallbladder Disorders Answer A1501 Posted: 09-19-06 07:31am


According to the symptoms you indicate (nausea, dizziness, bloating, gas, sharp pain in the stomach area, swelling in the sternum and bloating, pain in the lower left side radiating to the left side of back), you might have a peptic ulcer on the stomach or duodenum. A hiatus hernia (you already have it) may also have the same symptoms, but a peptic ulcer must be either excluded or confirmed. To confirm a peptic ulcer you can perform a gastroscopy. You may also request an abdominal ultrasound to exclude gallbladder stones. You can ask for an expert opinion from a gastro-intestinal internist.
