Abdominal discomfort: Running, especially if not breathing correctly by not using your diaphragm properly, can cause various abdominal symptoms including upper abdominal discomfort. It's called runners' stomach. If symptoms also occur without running, it's time to consult a gastroenterologist for a workup.
