Doctors said that if there is continuous vomiting along with severe stomach cramps or pain, or there is blood in the vomit, then it is a very dangerous situation. Apart from this, if the stomach pain is accompanied by high fever, difficulty in breathing, sudden appearance of symptoms of jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) or the color of the stool becoming completely black or bloody, then it is a clear indication of serious diseases like appendicitis, gallbladder stones, pancreatitis or intestinal obstruction. In such a situation, even the slightest carelessness can put the patient’s life at risk.
When and why is immediate doctor’s advice necessary, understand the reason from experts
Recently many such cases have been seen in hospitals of big cities like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai where patients took painkillers thinking it was normal pain, which worsened the situation. Medical experts say that pain in different parts of the stomach (like upper right part or lower left part) indicates malfunction of different organs. If the pain suddenly becomes very severe and does not get relief even after lying down or sitting, then it can be a sign of perforation of the internal organs of the stomach. Therefore, it becomes very important to get a CT scan or ultrasound done immediately for accurate diagnosis.
