What Causes Tightness In The Upper Abdominal Area?
My upper stomach underneath my breasts is very hard all the time, sticks out like a pregnant belly. I am very over weight but this has just happened in the last month or so. I do not have any gas issues, I feel sick to my stomach all the time, took 2 pregnancy tests and both negitive. 3 months ago white blood count was higher than it should be. Getting a little worried

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
All the over-weight people have an extra deposits of fat in the area you described; and due to its typical position one always gets this feeling of hardness.
The best way for a proper diagnosis is to go for the CT scan of the area to rule out any other pathological problem.
High White blood cell count may not have to anything to this condition.
