i drank pop today and have been getting intense pains on my left side just under my rib. it feels a bit better when i breathe real deep, i got to tottaly relax. i think it might be the acid but i in so much pain any thoughts?
Answer:
It could be gas pains. Try eating some bread. Maybe two pieces. But if no change in it over an hour or so, or if it gets worse, call your doctor.
sounds like indigestion or trapped gas, if its intense go to a hospital it could be your appendix
I think you are right, acid or gas. All the carbonation in pop will give you a lot of gas. Sometimes those gas bubbles and cause pain in various placed in your abdomen.
Gosh, so little information.
Do you normally drink pop? Or is this only an occassional thing? Yes, it probably is the acid, especially if you aren't used to drinking pop. But then again, if you drink pop all the time, it could STILL be the acid, or worse yet, acid reflux.Is it like heartburn? Do you eat lots of spicy foods or tomato based foods? If it doesn't feel like heartburn, then does it feel like a muscle? Have you done any rigorous activities recently? Is that on the left side in the front or on the back, or on the side? If it is in the back, it could be your kidneys, on the side, it could be a muscle, on the front, could be stomach or even liver. (if it's up in the middle on the left side, it could be your heart? but it doesn't sound that high)If it continues and is intense pain, you should go to the doctor. MANY people think they have heartburn when they are really having a heart attack. If it is just indigestion or heartburn, a dose of Rolaids, Tums, Maalox, over the counter Zantac or Prilosec could do the trick. But that much pain, with a sudden onset, better safe than sorry. See a Doc.
i would say that you need to cut way back on the fluids with acid and drink more water--about 64 oz a day til you start to feel better --if you aren't feeling better over the weekend i would make an appointment to see a Dr. you might have a kidney or urinary tract infection and might need some meds to help with that infection--if things get worse over the weekend then i would head for the ER and be seen--its not worth being in extreme pain--cut the pop immediately though and see if that helps out--hope this helps and good luck!
Might be too much sugar. Try not to drink too much soda.
