What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain And Dark Urine?

I'm having severe upper abdominal pain that goes away for about 30 minutes after I eat and then returns. It was a sudden onset yesterday evening and didn't bother me while I slept last night but that could be because I took a Tylenol PM. I don't have any other symptoms other than dark urine despite drinking plenty of water and fluids throughout the day. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Regarding the pain in upper abdomen, it is due to accumulation of gas secondary to increased acid production in the stomach.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Esomeprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals). They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief.

Regarding the dark urine, it can be due to infection/ inflammation in the Urinary tract.
Investigation like urine examination and culture will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis & subsequent management.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
