Posted on Tue, 22 Jul 2014
Question: I have been experiencing severe abdomen/stomach pain during night. Especially when i try to sleep. And when i wake up the pain stays for atleast half to one hour.
This is very severe and demotivating pain.
I used to play, run and cycle; which is now stopped because the pain ruins my mornings.

Brief Answer:
Unusual in a young man

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This kind of pain is very unusual in a young man like you. I suggest you need a physical examination by a general surgeon and may be an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out serious problems.

I hear empty stomach cries, try to eat food before you retire to bed. However if this does not resolve. Nothing can be said without proper history and examination.

Hope this gives you a direction.
