A member asked:
Constant tension in upper stomach muscles. takes conscious effort to relax them even when in a relaxed position. is this abnormal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach tension: This MAY have a physical basis or be psychological in nature or both. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions and then a mental health professional like a clinical psychologist to learn some self-hypnosis, biofeedback, and/or breathing exercises. Anxiety produces shallow "rib cage" breathing and you MAY be experiencing that. Peace and good health.
