10 Causes of Solar Plexus Pain
Cause #5: Diabetes
Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders where there is prolonged hyperglycemia leading to symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, and increased hunger. It can lead to many complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, death, and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. It also increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.
Diabetes occurs when the pancreas is not producing enough insulin or due to insulin resistance. Prevention and management include regular exercise, a healthy diet, a normal body weight, and avoiding tobacco use. Diabetes can lead to nerve damage that affects both the vagus and solar plexus nerve.
