What Causes Pain And Pressure In The Upper Abdomen After Having Food?
my girlfriend is having both dull and sharp pain in her right side lower rib cage/upper stomach area. The pain started shortly after lunch. she says there is a spot lower that gets angry when she pushes on it. also she feels pressure when she lifts her right leg toward her stomach. Should I take her to the E.R. or could it be gas? pork with garlic and pepper with green beans and corn was lunch that was left on the counter overnight.
