What Causes Abdominal Pain?

today it feels like i got punched in the stomach. i wasn t really, but it feels that way. could it be from habanero or another kind of pepper? i was trying to think what might have caused it, i had a spicy sauce with chicken wings last night, that s the only thing out of the ordinary that i have eaten

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

Your suspicion seems to be correct. Chilli (pepper) can cause abdomen pain due to gastritis (inflammation of stomach wall). However it is not a very dangerous problem. You need to take a course of antacids (omeperazole) for two to three days. I would advise you to visit a general physician in your area for definitive diagnosis as in some cases a course of antibiotics is also required.

I hope i have clarified your queries. I welcome follow up queries if any, else please rate my reply. I wish you good health. Thank you.
