What Causes Acute Abdominal Pain With Tenderness?

Last night I had one beer and when I awoke this morning I suddenly experienced paralyzing abdominal pain in the upper left quadrant..It hurt so bad I could barely move. The pain lasted for about 15 mins then it went away as suddenly as it came. There was tenderness to touch and there is some very slight residual pain. What might the cause be. By the way I dont drink often but my preference is wine and I dont experience this pain with wine.

hello
for all precautions,
do get an ultrasonography of your abdomen done
if in case the pain does not reccur then there is no problem, if in case it reccurs then do visit a surgeon for analysis
variety of other tests like barium meal studies can also be undertaken if necessary

General Surgeon Dr. T Chandrakant's  Response
HI.
The history you have provided is more suggestive of a rare condition of a stomach volvulus, and may not be related to you having bear yesterday.
This condition is best diagnosed by Barium meal examination in head-low position where you get a characteristic shadow.
If this is proved to be a Gastric Volvulus, a simple surgery can get this cured.
