What Is The Reason For Upper Abdominal Pain?

Hi, I'm a 32 year old female. I've been having terrible pain in my upper abdomen for the last 14 hours. I took a bath and my heart started to pound like I was having a panic attack. When I was in my early twenties I had all kinds of ekg and thyroid tests done, for panic attacks, and they all came back fine. Is it possible things can change in ten years? should I be worried?

Hello dear,

Pain in upper abdomen is usually attributed to accumulation of gas secondary to Gastritis.
However, an EKG can be done to rule out the presence of any Cardiac cause.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals), Dicyclomine preparation & antacid gel (to be taken after meals).

And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration
3. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.
4. Avoid smoking & alcohol.
5. Keep away stress, think positive.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
