What Causes Sharp Spasms In The Upper Abdomen?

Over the past three days I have been getting sharp pains/spasms in my upper stomach under the rib cage. They happen more when I am in a relaxed position. When I moving they don’t seem to happen.
They happen more at night when relaxed. They come fast and then retract.
Thanks Richard

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there is possible inflammation of the spleen, problems with tail of pancreas or hilum of spleen, left kidney in the conditions where the resting position irritates the particular portion over upper stomach area.

* In our clinic, I recommend a CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis for further management guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
