What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen?
Question: I noticed pain in my upper abdomen/diapgram region a day after lifiting heavy on bench press at the gym. It is a dull pain that bothers me most often when i lie down. It does not hurt to the touch and I can take deep breaths without pain. Is this a diaphram injury or abdominal injury. I have been treated prior for acid reflux with Prilosec and have noticed increased belching with my new dull pain. I seem to get some relief from Ibuprofin but sometimes it just feels very tight.
Brief Answer:
Pain is due to musculo skeletal cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The pain that you are experiencing is due to musculoSkeletal cause.
Simple ibuprofen will not work.
I prescribe Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet and Proton pump inhibitor like Rabeprazole to my patients with similar complaints.
Diaphragmatic injury and abdominal injury are ruled out by investigations like X ray abdomen and Ultrasound abdomen. But, they can be excluded now as 7 days have been passed.
Please consult your doctor and get checked.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
If you have any queries, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
