What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

I have a horrible burning pain in the middle of my upper stomach going to the left side. I went to the hospital and they took an ultrasound of my stomach and saw nothing. They gave me acid pills. My pain is always still there and it s going to my back now. I want to heal it on my own since going to the doctor did not rule out anything. My pain is still there and it really hurts. Helps what to do to get better

Hi thank you for querry,
peptic ulcer disease.
As you mentioned your symptoms its seems to be peptic ulcer disease.
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) may be due to any of the following:
H pylori infection
Drugs
Lifestyle factors
Severe physiologic stress
Hypersecretory states (uncommon)
Genetic factors
To rule out the cause and to find underlying factors following tests should perform.
H-pylori test,
CBC,LFTS, serum amylase and lipase
upper Gi endoscopy.
if H pylori diagnosed should be eradicated under tripple therapy.
antacid,proton pump inhibitors,prokinetics and cytoprotective agents are useful.
hope the answer will helpfull.
wish you a good health.
