Question 1

server upper center abdomen pain in between diaphragm and belly button. the pain comes and goes no matter what i do.?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: The central area from the bottom of the ribs to the belly button is called the epigastric area. A person with severe pain should be evaluated by his primary care doctor or at the E.R.  Possible causes include pancreatitis, stomach ulcer, gall stones, twisted bowel, damage to big blood vessels in the abdomen, etc., etc...

Question 2

i'm having upper abdominal pain when i lay down, wake up in the morning or i'm very hungry. this has been happening for a couple of years.

Accepted Answer

Very likely you are: Experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease.  This problem will definitely cause the symptoms you describe.  You should avoid alcohol, coffee and tea (including decaf), and highly seasoned foods.  Lists of foods to avoid are available in the internet.  Then you should be taking one off the many medicines that decrease stomach acid, ranitidine (Zantac), famotidine (Pepcid), pantoprazole (Protonix)

Question 3

i'm having upper abdominal pain that leads to my back..also i'm having pain on the back right side of my head, that's followed by a on fire sensation?

Accepted Answer

Head and stomach: Upper abdominal pain could be anything including something in the gall bladder, the pancreas the GI tract. Pain in the head that is not related to headache is interesting. These symptoms require a call to your provider who knows you best especially if the symptoms continue or get worse. I would also be worried about pregnancy and urinary infection.

Question 4

i'm having upper abdominal pain.need help, 911?

Accepted Answer

Can't help: Unless more detail. If pain is severe go to the emergency department for work-up.  If not so severe, see your pcp and in either case provide more details.  How long have you had this.  Is it made worse or better by anything.  Is there any associated symptoms etc.

Question 5

i've been getting at least one or two stomach aches a day for the past four months. the pain is in every different part of my abdomen. what is wrong ?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: This needs a direct exam and testing by a doctor.   It is not normal.  Endometriosis is one thing which came to my mind.

Question 6

have had upper abdominal pain for years and im not sure if i have just some fat that sticks out or if its something else i dont have much pain but i dont get upper pain from time to time ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Upper abdominal pain can be from "acid" pains, such as a stomach ulcer, just gastritis with no ulcer, or reflux (heartburn). An infection with H. pylori bacteria can lead to stomach ulcer pains (an acid blocker can help). One needs more evaluation by her primary care doctor. Heart disease, rib and cartilage problems, pancreatitis, gallstones, or liver problems can cause upper abdominal pain.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!
