Suggest Medication For Severe Abdominal Pain And Gastric Problem
About 3:00 Wednesday morning I woke up with severe abdominal pain in the upper abdomen. I had no nausea or diarrhea and was not constipated. The pain was sharp (had me doubled over) and alternated between severe and moderate. After about 45 minutes it mostly went away and I was able to sleep. Around 5am I awoke again, but the pain was far less severe. Through the day the pain was pretty much gone, but I had mild pain again in the evening. Since first getting the pain, I’ve had a lot of gas. Could this simply be gas?

Hello,
Apart from simple gastric upset, possible gallbladder calculus or sludge, liver, pancreas or other intestine issues are likely to be responsible for such sudden intensely severe pain.
After primary care with doc prescription of pantoprazole and antiemetic as Ondansetron, the best way to measure the issue would be upper GI endoscopy with ultrasound of the abdomen & pelvis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
