My wife has complained twice in last 15 days of a severe pain in the left upper abdomen . No dizziness or sweating associated but only severe pain. No earler complaints of that nature was reported. She has occasional acidity problems and sleeping towards left side causes some times pain whenever spicy food is taken. But she avoids spicy food though very much fond of. She engages in some times mopping and cleaning activity of house. Both times ,pain occurred in morning between 7 Am to 10AM. I would like to know possible resaons and necessary checkups to be made. Right now she is in UK and is scheduled to return by end of the month. She is not covered by the National health Scheme of the local Govt , though has a travel insurance.

Ans: This could be as simple a M scale catch to pain referred from organs.
Please get it evaluated.
Before mopping she needs to warm up the body
And after mopping tell her do stretches.
While mopping she should initiate the movement from between her shoulder blades and not from the arm and ask her to breathe well.
