What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

Doctor I am a 20 year old girl. I have been experiencing a sharp pain in the upper region of my abdomen. It just started yesterday.I had a sharp pain in my upper abdomen early in the morning which used to come and go. I reduced later in the day, but occurs once in 2 hours. I was reading about symptoms of stomach ulcers, and it seemed similar. Do you think it is an ulcer. I am writing because I am afraid of doctors and the possibility of doing an endoscopy.

Hi,
As this problem is of very recent origin, possibility of having ulcer is not there.
This might be due to hyper acidity due to having stomach empty with acid secretion is there.
Take Omeprazole tablet for few days.
Take light food.
Avoid fried, chillies and junk food.
Avoid stress.
Ok and take care.
