I am 40 years old and drank beer all my life and Im on pain management for chronic pain taking 10 mg percocets. I am really worried about my colon and other organs and I cant seem to get off of the addiction. I have been feeling really ill every morning with sleep apnea and I have stomach pains which make my heart skip irregular in the morning and I ve been having pain in my left side of my neck and in my jaw with really bad headaches! It seems I am aching all over with flu like pain all through the body I think I may have an infection maybe in my colon but not sure. I want go to the doctor or emergency room but Im afraid for the worst. Maybe you can help!
Hello, It could be indigestion or gastritis. However, we have to rule out other causes like bowel perforation. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or diclofenac for pain relief.  If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
