severe upper stomach pain symptoms
What’s causing stomach pain and severe fatigue?
So for about 3 months now I have been having upper right stomach pain that dosn’t seem to be related at all to food. The pain seems to be in the liver/gallbladder area and is pretty much a constant dull pain and at times it has a slight burning sensation. I have seen an internist and he just thought it was gastritis but the meds havn’t helped at all.
I also have severe fatigue to the point where I cant stay awake for more than 5 hours without a nap. If I force myself to stay awake which I have to do because of work sometimes the fatigue gets worse and I will get a horrible headache and cannot function at all.
I am bi-polar and take lithium but my depression and stress have been under control for some time(physiatrist agrees with me) but my doctor dosn’t seem surprised at all by these symptoms.
I am more worried about the fatigue since it has been ruining the quality of my life. Any thoughts???
Sometimes stress manifests in physical symptoms. The stomach problems and fatigue could all be because of stress. And, if you’re not sleeping well, you’d definitely get tired during the day. Try to relax as much as you can before you go to bed, don’t eat anything, turn the TV or radio off and make sure the room is completely dark. It might sound silly, but warm milk does help you sleep, so make some warm milk, lie down, relax and get some sleep. Try to give yourself at least 8 hours to sleep. If your doctor isn’t worried that there’s something wrong, then it might just be tension. Be good to yourself, and good luck to you.
