Symptom #8: Abdominal Pain

The abdomen can be divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, left lumbar, umbilical, right lumbar, right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac region. Abdominal pain is a common symptom that can be seen in conditions such as gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, and more.

Abdominal pain has also been reported among patients with hypoparathyroidism. The reason behind this symptom is that patients with low levels of calcium may develop muscle cramping leading to biliary colic (spasm of the gallbladder). The pain is usually in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. If you are experiencing this symptom, you should seek medical attention for proper diagnosis.
