My upper stomach is hard and hard to breathe doesn't matter if im hungry or full?

Time to see doctor: Normal people do not have a hard upper abdomen when they are relaxing before a meal. If the upper stomach is hard at that time, there may be something in there that is not supposed to be there, such as a big liver or a tumor. It could also be a mass of stool backed up from the lower abdomen, but then one should have a hard lower abdomen too. It's time to see the doctor to find out what's going on.
