The following is an actual case that someone asked me to diagnose over
the phone. It was actually the mother of a friend, and the person had a real
doctor's appointment the next day, so I made a guess. Have a try ...
For the last week or two, the woman (age 45-50 or so) felt bloated
after meals - it was much worse after eating fried foods (so she had to give
up cooking in a wok). Not only that, but in the last week, about an hour
after eating, she developed sharp colicky pains in her right shoulder, and
felt sick and nauseous.
That's all I got. As it turned out, the obvious diagnosis is the
correct one (verified the next day), so the above information is all you need.
Answer, as usual, in a week (more or less).
