I get random episodes of extreme abdomin pain that radiates from about right above my bellybutton! ive been getting this on and off for about 8 years. its been getting wors and the only way to make it stop is by taking high doses of pain pills! help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Upper abdominal pain can be from acid pains, such as a stomach ulcer, gastritis without ulcer, or stomach reflux (heartburn). An infection with H. pylori bacteria can lead to stomach ulcer pains. One needs more evaluation by her primary care doctor. Heart disease, pancreatitis, gallstones, or twisting or obstruction of a blood vessel or small bowel can cause upper abdominal pain.
