A member asked:

Upper stomach hurts when any type of pressure is applied such as leaning or bending. any reason why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stomach pains: Could be gastritis, reflux, irritation of the stomach, or it could be that you are bloated or even your gallbladder. An exam by an M.D. can help decipher which is most likely.
