How do I know if my stomach pain is serious?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Usual causes of stomach pain are acidity, indigestion, gall stones, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and infections. Most of them can be mild and be treated at home under doctor's guidance but sometimes, any of them can cause sudden sharp pain with intense vomiting and diarrhea. So, it is better to consult with doctor and take treatment as early as possible.

View allI'm feeling uneasy because after having an endoscopy, I started having pain in my windpipe when I swallow food. On top of that, I sometimes experience mild to moderate stomach pain, usually when my stomach's empty like in the mornings. I never had any issues like this before the endoscopy, and now I'm really worried that there might have been a perforation in my stomach when they took a tissue sample, especially since I felt pain in my stomach during the procedure. Could this be serious? What should I do?
No i can't be a perforation. Take some anti gastric medication for one week and monitor for symptoms

I'm wondering if starting homeopathy might help with this. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
