:  It could be indigestion.Eat light, do some mild exercise, use a heating pad to the area for a few days. If you feel worse or develop pain see your MD

Question 2

i laid on my stomach for a long time sleeping and when i stood up my forehead was full of pressure. i have sinitus, will laying on tummy make it worse?

Sinus drainage: Lying down may increase sinus congestion. Promote sinus drainage using warm salt water nasal irrigation, inhaling steam and/or applying heat to the forehead and cheeks.

Question 3

i have abdomen pain when i put pressure on my stomach. thoughts on what to do?

Accepted Answer

Think of appendiciti: Is th pain worse in the right lower quad? Or is it generalized? Could be intestinal gas.

Question 4

i always feel something in my lower abdomen and sides. 25f no meds, drinker not too often, dont smoke. the weird pressure alternates on either sides of my body. my stomach is not hard or rigid. i mostly feel it when i lay on my stomach?

Accepted Answer

: The feeling you have had is vague and nonspecific. If you do not have any other associated symptoms such as abnormal bowel habit, problem with urination, etc. you should not worry much about it.

Question 5

i have been having pain in lower abdomen and lower back. also hurts whenever i put pressure on my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Common Stomache Pain: The most common causes of stomach pain in otherwise healthy adults are not usually serious.  You should see your doctor for further testing if you have any of the following symptoms: severe or extre pain, vomiting that will not stop, vomiting blood, if you are losing weight or have no appetite, if you have dark-colored stool or blood in your stool or if you have pain or difficulty with swallowing

Question 6

i have a pulse in my abdomen/stomach and is even more prominent when i put pressure with my hand. what could this mean? i am quite thin by the way.

Accepted Answer

Aorta: Aorta, main artery runs down abdomen, has a pulse. Very unlikely you have an abnormal dilation of it. Thin people can feel the aorta more easily.

Question 7

why is there so much vomiting with someone with end stage cirrhosis? is it due to fluid pressure in abdomen, causing pressure on stomach? or something worse?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: Cirrhosis leads to major changes in the ability of the body to handle any stress. Repeated vomiting is not a sign of cirrhosis in of itself. Seek attention urgently as real trouble  may ensue quickly.

Question 8

my boyfriend is complaining of pain in abdomen and testicle and the pain is hurting him for the past 3 days he says his stomach feels very bloated i checked his blood pressure and it's at a normal reading what could the problem be he is 58 yrs of age?

Accepted Answer

: He needs to be evaluated by a health care provider. Normal blood pressure does not help much in the diagnosis, unfortunately. Good luck to your boyfriend.

Question 9

bloated, hard stomach, hard to breathe. feels like pressure on my abdomen. pain in heart, but not excruciatingly painful. just hard stomach?

Accepted Answer

: You have several symptoms. Hard to breathe is concerning- I would like to see you in person and have vital signs. This can be pressure from the diaphragm from the GI symptoms, or a serious heart or lung issue. I am sure you should see a doctor in person but unsure if this is an emergency.

Question 10

perfect bmi for my age and height yet i have pcos. can having pcos cause a pressure in the abdomen? experiencing pressure. flat stomach.

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed.: Obesity only occurs in about 60% of women with PCOS but the pelvic pain and bloating can occur in most. Use local heat or non steroidals like naprosyn (naproxen) for the discomfort. If the discomfort persists see your physician for evaluation. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
