What Causes A Gripping Pain In My Stomach?

Hi, I have a pain in my stomach it feels like a fist gripping me inside or like the feeling after you've been punched in the stomach I just want to know if it could be something serious that I may need to have the light run down my throat and have checked out what do you think it could be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You have a history of fist griping in the stomach or as if punched in the stomach.
I do not think that passing the light down the throat (endoscopy you mean it seems) may be helpful if this is stomach volvulus or duodenal problems.

I would advise you to visit ER ASAP, get a simple X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position, ultrasonography to get an idea about the diagnosis and get further investigated like : Enteroclysis and so on and get treated accordingly.

I find this answer helpful
