What Causes Pain On Right Of Abdomen?
I have pain in the upper center right of abdomen. been 4 days. began in bed as a rush of pain, burning and pressure. Been taking tums and it has been making me have light burps. Stool is black and ashy, with wiping you can see a lite hint of dark green with the black. Pain rarely subsides. Feels like you want to puke up the lump of whatever in my stomack but never have yet. Any ideas?

Hi welcome to HCM
Pain in the centre of upper abdomen along with black stool suggests peptic ulcer disease.
Black stool may be due to bleeding from ulcer.
Avoid gastric irritants like smoking, alcohol, tea, coffee, spices, smoked food, soft drinks, chocolate etc.
Antacids, H2blockers, proton pump inhibitors will help you.
Get a stool examination for occult blood done
May need an upper GI endoscopy for diagnosis and H.pylori testing and if H.pylori positive,, drugs yo eradicate the same
consult your doctor
Thank you
