Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pulling Sensation In The Upper Abdomen?
I have had a pulling sensation in my upper left side of my stomach. I also had chest pressure and tightness. The chest tightness and pressure went away after taking Prilosec (per doctors instruction) I had a Echocardiogram (TTE) stress test, and EKG and both were normal. Could this be a hiatal (hiatus) hernia?
Consult a physician and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
An ultrasound abdomen will be helpful in this situation.
