What Causes Severe Upper Abdominal Pain Along With Tenderness?
Saturday I had intense pain in the upper centre part of my stomach; thought it was heartburn because I ate badly that day - lots of cheese and greasy salami; Sunday the pain was still intense and intermittent lasting minutes continuing all day and night every hour - Monday it was less painful but now my right side across from belly button is tender to touch and my whole stomach feels bruised; I have no diarrhea, no vomiting or nausea - if I twist back and forth my stomach is sore if I jump nothing - eating or drinking no more or less bothersome - 5 days now my intermittent pains in the centre upper have stopped but my stomach is still tender feeling bruised?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe upper abdominal pain along with tenderness which seems to be due to hyperacidity, gastritis, indigestion, GERD and due to underlying systemic pathology. Kidney problem can also cause such symptoms . You should take small and frequent meals and avoid intake of large and bulk food at a time. You should go for exercise daily. I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for barium meal swallow study as well. You should take omeprazole 20 mg empty stomach in the morning. You should avoid intake of spicy, sharp and outside food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
