What Causes Severe Burning Sensation In Upper Abdominal Area?
Question: I have had severe burning in my upper abdomen for two days, and now I have hard flex of black grit in my stool. I am in severe pain and don't know if I should wait for dr to open tomorrow, or go in the the ER
Brief Answer:
Proceed to emergency department
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
You are having symptoms which are worrisome for possible gastrointestinal bleeding. I think since you're having the burning about my pain and have noticed these changes in your stool that it would be beneficial to be evaluated as soon as possible. sometimes a bleeding ulcer can cause these types of symptoms.
I would not wait until tomorrow to have this investigated. It is much better to be on the side of caution with this type of collection of symptoms.
Again I think it would be in your best interest to be evaluated as soon as possible tonight.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
