Avatar m tn I have dull stomach pain just below the sternum. It hurts worse when I'm getting hungry but scared to eat to much cause I been getting this feeling that I need to throw up everyone I eat a little too much. I used to be Abe to eat rice and pasta but now can't seem to digest it. It seems to get stuck around my upper rib area and then I eventually end up throwing my dinner up. On June 1st I weighed 203. As of today, October 19th, I weigh 162.

Avatar m tn can anorexia cause pain all over the body? along with dizziiness and sharp eye pain?
Avatar f tn Yes you can have stomach pain along with many other symptoms. Anorexia and Anorexia Nervosa are actually two different things.. Anorexia is simply not eating, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't WANT to eat, just a lack of eating for whatever reason. Anorexia Nervosa (what people are usually talking about when they use the term Anorexia) is when you don't eat because you think you are fat, or you have a strong fear of gaining weight.

Avatar f tn Two years ago, in the midst of my anorexia, I was in class and started feeling a horrible pain in my abdomens, that moved up into my heart and caused me to faint from the pain.

179856 tn?1333547362 I was just reading about Portia DeRossi's anorexia and it says when she was down to 82 pounds she "was told she was suffering from a handful of serious conditions: osteoporosis, organ failure, cirrhosis of the liver and the auto-immune disease lupus." how would anorexia cause cirrhosis does anybody know? I'm just curious because I never heard of that before and was wondering how it was related.
869670 tn?1239964618 t had a period for over 4 months, I am tired all the time, I bruise and cut easily, I have horrible acid-like stomach aches, and I am thinking about food al the time. It is constant for me. I don't think about anyone else but myself. I can't do this anymore. I just want to be able to stop having so many restrictions and live my life like I once did. I was so happy at the time where I thought I was my heaviest (which was a whopping 110 lbs. Big deal, huh?

Avatar f tn But though even though GI symptoms can be brought on my panic attacks, you are having a number of gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptoms, including anorexia (lack of appetite, not to be confused with anorexia nervosa, the eating disorder), vomitting, and pain in your lower left abdomen (common place to feel gas pain I think). And pain in your chest can sometimes be caused by esophageal spasms.

Avatar f tn For the past 9 - 10 months, I have been suffering from stomach pain and nausea. I have had 2 EGD's ultra scans, in the hospital for 2 days ( went to the ER - they thought I was having a heart attack) have been sent to a specialist at MUSC (who did nothing but talk to me). The symptoms seemed to go away for a few weeks, but now they are back again with a new symptom. As of late, my bowel movements have changed.
Avatar f tn Pain under the left shoulder blade is usually a referred pain from abdomen like stomach ulcers, acidity, pancreatitis, or ectopic pregnancy (unlikely) or from the chest like in heart attack, pericarditis, pleuritis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and aortic dissection. Another possibility is ankylosing spondylitis. Back pain worse when sitting or lying down and feels better with movement is usually caused by ankylosing spondylitis. This is a genetic condition.

Avatar f tn I am a 21 year old female, I have been suffering from ongoing, constant, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. Vomiting is daily, and occurs shortly after eating food. It will sometimes be very acidy but I will still throw up even if my stomach is not acidy. Getting up and moving around seems to make the nausea worse. The pain I have is mostly in the upper middle of my abdomen between my belly button and ribs. It is campy feeling and more painful if pushed.

Avatar m tn Hello. I'm new and terrified for a friend who says she's been diagnosed with Lyme disease. At first, I had no reason to believe otherwise. However, I'm not sure now. She has lost an extreme amount of weight. A couple of years ago when this all began, she was losing weight quickly and couldn't eat anything unless it was pureed. Without going into all the details, she presented all the signs of anorexia and still does.
931175 tn?1244457804 , low potassium, acid reflex, stomach problems, tear in esophagus, etc.) In addtition, stress, anxiety and depression could make it difficult to take in much food. In individuals with anorexia, these emotions can be shut down by eating less and less. They also could make it difficult to eat. In any event, your friend needs a medical exam with blood work and psychiatric/psycholigical evaluation. There is hope. In having a clear diagnosis, treatment is available.
