What Causes Heaviness In The Upper Abdomen?

I have been experiencing a heaviness, a sense of having a rock in my upper abdomin recently. It is not constant but becoming more frequent. I do not have bloody stool or vomiting. This does not match what I read to be symptoms of an ulcers as there is not actually pain just a lot of discomfort. It does seem to be helped some temporarily by anti-acids but then it returns. Can you give me some guidance please.

Hi,

Pain in upper abdomen can be due to:
1. gastritis
2. gallstones.

Most commonly gastritis.

USG abdomen may help to rule out the gall bladder. Can take tab. esomeprazole.

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