What Causes Upper Left Abdominal Pain, Dry Mouth And Nausea?
Question: Upper left abdomen ache and mild pressure, occasional nausea. Urinating a lot, dry mouth.
Brief Answer:
Cramping pain is rarely serious
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your description is short of information. How are your bowels? How long do you have this pain? Is it accompained by fever or preceded by it?
As you believe it could be from muscles of the abdomen as well. In such a case a topical capsaicin cream application will help. Since it is more while standing than lying down it should be originating outside the abdominal peritoneum.
You also seem to be describing a cramping pain. It is generally non serious and relieves within 24 hours without medication. Or it can relieve with bowels or passage of gas.
If the pain continues over 24 hours or turns severe you should visit the ER.
