What could cause severe stomach cramps with weakness?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your case history, with a recent history of travel, followed by abdominal cramps, likely because of eating something causing infection to the gut.

You both should check your stool DR (detail report) to find infections like travelers, diarrhea, etc.

My advice:

Consult your specialist, talk to them and take medications after their consult.

Take anti-spasmodic medicines like No-spa (Drotaverine Hydrochloride) or Mebeverine (Microcrystalline cellulose, Lactose monohydrate, Sodium starch glycolate type A, Povidone, Magnesium stearate, Talc) twice daily half hour before meals for three to five days along with probiotics. This might improve your symptoms, whereas probiotics help replace healthy gut bacteria. You may need antibiotics for three to five days if you have infective stools.

Try to eat home-cooked meals and a soft diet. Avoid eating out for a couple of days. In case of no improvement, first-line antibiotics can be used for infective colitis or enterocolitis. Take tablet Ciprofloxacin 250 mg half an hour after breakfast and dinner (twice daily) for three days. If you have known allergies to any medicine, do let me know before use.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Episodic abdominal cramps are less likely because of oxygen issues or inhaled bugs. For oxygen-related issues, a person should feel shortness of breath at the time of reduced oxygen, which must be at the time of traveling on the bus, in your case.

It is related to something you people ate while traveling or immediately before or after. So yes, it can be a bacterial or viral cause of abdominal upset but not related to your chest or oxygen issues when you do not have any chest symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, fever, etc.

Follow the previous instructions; I hope it will improve in the next 24-48 hours. If not, one should investigate further, like blood tests, etc.

Thank you.
