What Causes Discomfort And Pressure In The Upper Abdomen?
For the past 6 or 7 days, I ve had an uncomfortable (not painful) feeling of pressure in the top of my stomach, right below the breast bone, maybe between the ribs? My stomach feels bloated and I feel slight nausea. No burning, stabbing pains.... just uncomfortable. Is this anything I should have looked at, or give it more time?

Hi,
It can be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. You need to take Lansoprazole. You are also advised to stop smoking, avoid coffee and carbonated drinks.
You also relax and take light meals in a diet. However, if symptoms continue after 15 days report to the emergency room for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
