What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

65 yr female; for 3 days have had very painful upper abdominal grinding cramps. So severe I cannot eat much and at times takes my breath away. Thought it was food poisoning, but that was 3 days ago, and the acute diarrhea only lasted 24 hrs. The upper stomach pains feel like knife twisting or wringing. Any suggestions?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Sorry about the pain. You have what is called Dyspepsia. If I were your doctor, and based on your age, I will advice you to do an Endoscopy (an upper gastrointestinal) to look at what is going on. For now you can take Antacid and Esomeprazole for the pain. I hope it helps.
Thank you.
