What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen And Lower Rib Cage?
I m having pain in my upper right abdomen right below and including my lower right rib cage but have had no trauma to the area. First noticed yesterday morning. I may have just twisted something but have a hypotrophic heart and wonder when I should check it further or if it could be appendicitis......Thanks, Brad

Hi,
Upper abdomen pain may be due to gastrtis or pancreatitis or cholicystitis or hepatitis, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid caffeinated drinks and freeze water. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
