Headache and abdominal pain and risk of ulcer

Hello,

Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com. Let me know his associated features along with mentioned.

Does he have relief in abdominal pain after defecation?

Does he have pulsating type of headache?

Has he undergone biopsy of large intestine ulcer?

With the available described details, there appears to be high possibility of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Although presence of ulcer in large intestine shows organic cause for all symptoms and cause must be evaluated.

There exist gut-brain axis in human beings and some sort of stress & mental worry may affect gastrointestinal tract motility.

Abdominal heaviness with constipation favors decreased gastrointestinal motility with variations according to mental status.

You should consult with internal medicine specialist / gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.

He should also go for complete hemogram, blood sugar, thyroid function test, serum amylase, liver function test.

He should also go for endoscopy with biopsy of 2nd part of duodenum.

Treatment depends on exact diagnosis.

Meanwhile, he should continue Proton pump inhibitors, gut anxiolytics, mebeverine.

He should also consult with psychiatrist and should take tricyclic antidepressants.

Take care,
Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further.
Wishing a speedy recovery.

In general he feels normal but sometime (in one or two days) he feel urgency to go for BOWL movement and also feels restless. At this time he has headache and in BOWL he passes only gas and mucus and sometimes a little stool.He goes for BOWL 3-4 times on such days. He also complain harndess of stomach at this time and feel that he is not able to pass gas. At this time he feels darkness around his eyes and feel difficult to control his body. In generel while walking he feels it difficulty to put legs in order. He is taking soluble fibre at night as he used to have constipation. When he has urgency to go for BOWL he also feel a little pain in stomac. At this time he also complain heaviness in head and feel tensed which is major part of my worries.
