10 Symptoms of Angioedema
Symptom #4: Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain or stomach ache is a common and non-specific symptom that is often seen in serious and non-serious conditions such as gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, food poisoning, appendicitis, diarrhea, diverticulitis, ectopic pregnancy, and more. The abdomen can be divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypogastric, left lumbar, umbilical, right lumbar, right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac.
Based on pain that is felt in the different regions, the physician can usually tell what may be causing the abdominal pain. Patients with hereditary angioedema can experience recurrent attacks where there is abdominal pain with associated symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. The pain usually lasts one to five days and may require hospitalization.
