[|Human|] my girlfriend is experiencing severe and painful spasms in her abdomen, they start around the solar plexus area and extend down to the mid stomach. we have been to the doctor 4 times now and all dugs prescribed have been ineffective, the drugs include omeprozale, buscopan and ranitidine. each doctor has mentioned acid reflux despite the fact that she experiences no burning sensation. i have done some research and to me it seems like a hiatus hernia is more likely. could you please advise me because she is in a lot of pain and is unable to work and its getting worse
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. The pain around the solar plexus is not likely to be due to hiatus hernia as acidity and HERD will be associated too. This nature of the pain you explained in your girlfriend is spasmodic in nature. This can be due to :-Biliary colic due to gall stones-Ureteric colic due to ureteric stone -Intestinal obstruction causing spasms. I would advise you the following:X-ray of the abdomen in standing and lying down position-this is the cheapest and simple most diagnostic tool. -Ultrasonography of the abdomen. The treatment will be as per the findings on the reports.
