What causes stiffness and tightness in the entire upper abdomen into the ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Anything from gas to ulcers can cause these feelings. If you're able to keep fluids down and not have a high fever, things should be fine. If symptoms worsen, see your family doctor.
