Cause Of Upper Abdominal Pain After Eating And When Lying Down?
I've been having severe upper abdominal pain for 6 months, I have diverticular disease. I've had a chest xray, ultrasound of abdomen all clear. The pain is worse after eating and when lying down. Nothing makes it better and it is getting worse. What could be causing this pain?

Thank you for your question!
Pain in your case is due to Peptic ulcer. It will be burning in nature in the epigastric region.
Pain is due to excess amount of gastric acid production and ulcer formation in stomach or duodenum.
Take pantaprazole tablets twice daily for 10 days. It gives symptomatic relief.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, caffeine and late night dinner. These measures will keep your esophageal sphincter in a good tone and prevent gastroesophageal reflux disease.
