One Monday morning, I suddenly felt a very sharp pain on my right side of the abdomen. I can't breath properly because it was painful. I did the breath in breath out method to slow down the pain but was not improving. I asked our company driver to bring me to the ER of Makati Med. I was having a corporate sales call at that time but I can't bear the pain.
Doctors at the Makati Med seems to treat my symptoms as not Emergency care but considered it as Primary Care. So I waited for my turn to be treated inspite of the very painful feeling. When It's my turn, the ER doctor interviewed me and did some examinations on my tummy. She said that appendicitis and gallbladder stone is not possible though my symptoms seems to point at those problems. She said that it has something to do with my GERD or Acid Redlux but I was not convinced.
I had an IV injection of Maalox but after an hour, I can still felt the same pain. I told them and they gave me another injection of PAntoloc. Both are medicine for the acid reflux which should cure the pain.
After an hour, I felt better. They gave me a medication for a week or two. Maalox, Pantoloc and Motillium.
I went to StLukes for another check up. My Internal Cardiologist told me that gas or acid reflux is at the middle of the abdomen and not on the right side. He precribe CBC, Urine and ultrasound of the whole stomach to rule out anything. He said that the stomach is composed of different organs so we have to check on everyone.
The result of the stomach and pelvic ultrasound came out negative, but my urine shows that I am diabetic....I'll discuss this on my next blog. he immediately referred me to an ENDO doctor and Gastro doctor.
Gastro doctor asked me to have another test....glucose test and test on my protein and liver.
I have not done those test but will surely blog about it as soon as I am done.
