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.
I have sharp pain in my upper abdomen at times when I am exerting myself - mowing the lawn, carrying heavy things up stairs. I used to exercise regularly, but have not engaged in regular exercise for over a year. I have had an endoscopy (nothing showed up) and a cardiac stress test (my heart is fine). The pain keeps me from even going on walks.
