I'm a generally healthy 16 year old female, 5'4", 112lbs. My only known illnesses are hyperthyroidism and a minor cold. Medication includes 60mg Propanolol for tremor and 120mg Tapazole- an anti-thyroid drug.
Ever since last Tuesday, I've been having these severe abdominal pains that last all day. They hurt the most just beneath my ribcage right in the center of my abdomen. The pain seems to radiate towards my left- where my liver is, but isn't nearly as intense- and to my lower back. What could this be? The pain is a dull, blunt pain, but sharpens to resemble stabbing when I breathe, cough, lean back, lie down and stand up. I haven't vomited thus far, I'm very nauseated, have no appetite but have no other gastrointestinal issues. My veins are darker and I bruise easily- there are mysterious bruises below my ribcage I don't recall getting but I don't know if this is related.
Its rare, but Tapazole can cause liver disorder. I'm not sure thats it. Any help or insight would be fabulous.
