A member asked:

I been feeling discomfort on the top left side of my stomach no pain just discomfort and pressure what does that mean ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Stomach pain can feel like other sensations in the upper abdomen sometimes. A patient who suspects that certain pains are related to stomach acid / reflux / ulcers can actually try taking a good-sized dose of maalox or mylanta to see what happens. If the pains or sensations go away each time, that suggests the pains are due to acidity. A doctor can evaluate to see what might be going on inside.
