It is not cancer but something else kindly consult your medical consultant. You may, I repeat may have a problem with the blood vessel in that area or the nerve.\n Get your heart also checked.\n \nPlease do not waste your time seeking advice on the Internet from ignorant people like me.

Ask the doctor for more info.  Sounds like a hernia.

I am also 50 something and have already had a clogged artery in the heart that required a stent.\n\nSimple diet modifications can help. Just doing away with most meat and eating losts of fruit brought down my cholesterol from the 220-240 range to the 190s.\n\nHaving found out my problem in an airplane at 29000 feet I can say from firsthand experience that this would be a horrible way to die. It is not necessarily slow and it scares the daylights out of you. After the blockage was treated it took me several years to get over anxiety stemming from it.\n\nLet your Dad know that he does not have to die from this. He may be thinking it is genetic and that there is not much you can do to control it. This is not true many times.\n\nMy advice is to start doing everything natural that you can. I do not know if it is true but there is one article that claims Bromelain (you can get it at a natural helath food store) will clear your arteries. One lady took it and had a followup angiogram that showed no blockage. I had some pain in my back once and it went away not long after I took Bromelain. Maybe it was all in my head but I doubt it. It is a natural anti inflammatory , digests protein and helps keep the blood from clotting. Obviously if cholesterol is high you should follow a Doctor's advice for lowering it. Some Doctors are enlightened about using natural substances to help.\n\nRegardless of what else he does , tell him to eat 5 pieces of fruit a day. The pectin in the fruit binds with the cholsesterol and flushes some of it out.

First of all, DON'T listen to these answers. These people have no idea what they are talking about. No one could. Do you think someone could diagnose you properly online, doctor or not? No! Get to your cardiologist. If you don't have one, get one. Don't put this off. If you have an AICD, a cardiologist had to put it in. Also, don't you get it checked every three months, or so? If you have problems, you can have it checked anytime. Like pain, your symptoms are a warning. Listen to them.\n\nGrizz\n\n\nIf you are a layman, stay out of this catagory. You have no business answering ANY medical questions. Do you realize how much danger you could be putting people in? Obviously, you don't. Well intentioned does not count. Telling someone they may need a heart transplant. Unbelievable.This is a horrific problem. DO NOT give your opinions, because that's all they are. Your opinions could actually kill someone. I just don't understand the gall people have. It's absolutly insane.

Too many possibilities, you need to see your doctor and get it checked out. Anything stressfull happen lately? Have you considered the possibility of it being GERD? \n\nIn any event only an EKG, CX and labs can rule out MI ... yes it's happened before at age 22, so see a doctor even if you think it's something mild.\n\nEdit: \nSince you gave more info the only thing I can tell you is that you need an EKG read by an experienced MD. THere are a number of arrythmias that could cause you to have these sensations, some obvious and some not so. WPW for example is rare but something that could be associated with your symptoms. No one here is qualified to make that dx so the sooner you see someone the better off you will be.

You are absolutely correct when you say that some of these tests are inaccurate.My sister who was 47 was diagnosed with gall stones and it took weeks for her to get the surgery and it was then they discovered she had 3rd stage pancreatic cancer.Do yourself a favour and get that mri sooner rather than later to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hope it all goes well.

Please do not dismiss this complaint. I do not want to scare you but I don't know how else to make you take this seriously. Take him back to the doctor and insist on a complete physical.\n\nThere is an extremely rare childhood cancer of the abdomen called desmoplastic small round cell tumor. It predominately strikes boys and young adults and occurs as multiple masses within the abdominal cavity. Feel his tummy all over for lumps or anything hard. If you find something, get him to his doctor today. Family doctors can miss this type of cancer because it is so rare. They can also misdiagnose the cancer because there may be few or no symptoms. \n\nAs I've said, this is a rare cancer but you need to find out exactly what is going on with him. It needs to be checked out, just to be sure.\n\nDSRCT patients\nhttp://www.dsrct.com/patients.htm\n\nI didn't listen to my son when he was complaining about similar symptoms. When he was finally diagnosed  he was already a stage IV.

Basically, it's plaque buildup in your aorta.  Atheromas can cause embolisms, stroke, etc.
