What Causes Recurring, Severe Upper Abdominal Pain?

My Female friend is having severe upper abdominal pain that comes and goes, pain lasts 15-20 min. then passes and she feels fine, pain started last night, it passed then happened again and she told me my snoring was keeping her awake. This morning she was fine, ate a small breakfast was fine, Then had a good size lunch, and an hour later attacks started again, bad enough to make her cry, she s had 2 kids so she s not a woos... The attacks still come and go 15-20 minutes then subside for a while, then happens all over again. doesnt really feel nauseated and doesnt have a fever....

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring severe upper abdominal pain which seems to be due to hyperacidity, gastritis, indigestion, GERD( gastro esophageal reflux disease) and due to underlying systemic pathology. Need not to worry. You should take small and frequent meals and avoid intake of large and bulk food at a time. You should go for exercise daily. I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for barium meal swallow study as well. You should take omeprazole 20 mg empty stomach in the morning. You should avoid intake of spicy, sharp and outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
