Hi,

You have mentioned upper abdominal pain.Any other symptoms have not been mentioned. History of nausea, vomiting, any radiating pain to the arm should be ruled out. Upper abdominal pain which is stabbing in nature and not relieved by antacids may occur in myocardial infarction.I would suggest you take an ECG or Echo to rule out any cardiac causes. Other conditions to be ruled out may be appendicitis or diverticulitis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
