i hope by now you have sought medical attention. if not please do so right away if your symptoms have not improved. whenever someone describes "tearing pain" in the left abdomen we in the medical community start to get a little excited because this can be indicative of a serious condition called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aoa). although the pain is usually described as being in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen i would not hesitate to get this pain checked out pronto. a symptomatic aoa is a medical emergency and should not be taken lightly. you're at higher risk for an aoa if you are male over age 60 and if you ever smoked in your lifetime. if this describes you seek medical attention now. of course this could be a bout of severe constipation which is easily treatable. but better to rule out an aoa first. meanwhile do not strain to have a bowel movement. if you do have an aoa straining could cause it to rupture. i'm not trying to alarm you but i do want you to get this checked out as soon as possible. wishing you all the best!
