I've been experiencing stomach pain in the upper left area, and it seems to get worse after I eat or walk more than usual. I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's really uncomfortable, especially with the gas problem I have. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?

View allI've been having some pretty bad gastric issues lately. There's a lot of gas, and my blood pressure is up at 180100. It's been going on for the last 24 hours, and my ECG came back abnormal. I'm also experiencing severe pain in my epigastric area. What could be going on with me? What should I do next?
Given your symptoms of severe epigastric pain, high blood pressure (180100 mmHg), and an abnormal ECG, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or severe gastrointestinal issue like a peptic ulcer or acute pancreatitis. Go to the nearest emergency room or contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing pain when I touch the area under my ribs near my chest, and it's been going on for about a month now. What could this be? Is there any medication or home remedies you recommend? My chest X-ray came back clear, so should I be considering any other tests? Let me know your thoughts, please.

I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?
The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.
