Hi
The diagnosis depends on the site of the pain.
If it is in right lower side of the abdomen, it could be appendicitis. In severe Acute appendicitis, patients will have severe pain with nausea or vomiting.
If it is in the upper abdomen in the centre, it could be gastritis.
Please consult your Surgeon and get an Ultrasound abdomen first.

Wish you good health.
