What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen?
I am a 16 year old female, about 161-165cm tall. I weigh approx. 74 kilos.I have a medical history of anxiety, depression, stress and minor issues regarding my heart due to stress.
For a week or so , usually when i get in bed and lay on my left side , i get a tingly fuzzy feeling in my upper left abdominal area, just under my bra. It feels tender when i press it and if i press hard enough it almost feels bruised. What is it?

HI.
This is classical sign of costo-chondritis. The pain at a spot you described and getting increased on pressure is suggestive of this.
Advised : Anti-inflammatory medicines, Rest to the part and bed rest, local rubrafacient liniments, Avoid exposure to cold weather.
Anxiety and stress are known causative factors in this disorder and they also enhance this problem, so keep these under control. Sympathetic nervous system upset has a contributory role.
