What could be causing my abdominal pain?
I’m 16 and I’ve been having pain bloating and pressure in my upper and lower abdomen. It’s been going on for 2 or 3 days now. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary. I feel like I have to go but I can’t or if I do it’s not very much. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
feeling bloated is very common, one reason is you could be lactose, but i doubt that as you would have had it all your life. The usual cause of bloating is gas – and it usually starts with diet. High fiber foods (including fruits and vegetables) as well as high fat foods (like a rich restaurant meal) both are big causes of bloating. If your digestive system is sensitive, you might be burping, or having gas or ‘grumbles’ in your abdomen. If not, it might be something else.
Another thing is that people in that age range sometimes put on a little weight. Your pictures show you are thin, but the pictures aren’t really clear enough for me to tell whether your stomach is bloated, or you have posture issues, or are gaining weight. For example, how toned are your arms and legs compared to your waistline? Sometimes stress or hormones cause weight gain underneath the stomach muscles – causing a bloated belly, but the muscles feel tight.
see a doctor if it gets worse
dude! You are constipated. I have the fix for ya, big time. Google ‘painless gallstone removal’ the second link has a product that will fix ya up. You will feel great after a proper colon cleanse. Doesn’t hurt or nothing like that.
I’d see a doctor. Could be appendicitis
