What are the possible causes of pain on the left side of the belly button after a meal or while walking?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This kind of pain is mostly due to acid reflux or gall bladder issues like stones in the gall bladder called cholelithiasis. It can be a hiatus hernia associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease. For evaluation of gall bladder issues, get an ultrasound of the abdomen which will rule out any cholelithiasis or pancreatitis. If the ultrasound is normal, you would require treatment for acid reflux. In acid reflux disease a combination of Omeprazole (Disodium hydrogen phosphate, Hypromellose, Lactose, Mannitol, Sodium lauryl sulfate) and Domperidone (Domperidone Maleate) helps greatly. Take a soft, bland diet as spicy food aggravates acidity. In case of acute pain, you can take anti-flatulent syrup. Consult your specialist before taking medications. I hope I cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your description looks like acid reflux. Kindly mention what medications you have been taking for acid reflux. If you are taking appropriate medications and you have no relief, I would recommend you go for an endoscopy, ultrasound, and ECG (electrocardiogram). I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
