Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

I'm 23, a female, and randomly I will get stomach pain, and sometimes arm pain. Then I'll get dizzy and momentarily faint. Then I'm fine, or I'll have some cramps.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Indigestion and stomach ulcers can cause pain in the stomach that radiates to the arm. Nervous system imbalances, especially in the autonomic system, can simultaneously lead to stomach and arm pain. Cramps could also be caused by these conditions. Additionally, dehydration, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, certain medications, and inner ear problems may contribute to dizziness and momentary fainting.

I recommend undergoing laboratory tests to reach a diagnosis, including:

  1. Full blood count
  2. Blood sugar
  3. H. pylori or urea breath test

It would also be beneficial to see an ENT specialist to rule out inner ear issues and consult a neurologist if fainting episodes are frequent.

Thanks
