What Causes Pain In My Upper Abdomen?

I am having pain in my upper stomach area under the ribcage which comes and goes and sometimes more painful than other times. I had symptoms of what I thought were gallstones several months ago but an ultrasound was done three days after I had symptoms and everything looked good. Not sure if it is gallstones this time. I've have pain for 9 hours.

Hello, thank you for writing in to HCM.
You seem to be suffering from Acid peptic disorder. Take small frequent meals instead of three main ones. Include a lot of fiber in your diet along with plenty of oral fluids. Try to get into a proper routine of going to sleep & waking up. Also include some form of excercise in your day to day routine.

Take pentataprazole tablets with domperidone on empty stomach fast acting tablets . If pain is unbearable you can take Tab acuvin after that .Also, if you're constipated you can take a mild laxative. Even if get relieved You must see a doctor for investigations like ultra sound abdomen or even gastroscopy so that your future course of medicine is decided if at all required. Hope this was helpful.
