Q: feeling of fullness in upper left abdomen above stomach even when i havent eaten. almost feels like an inflated balloon. had this feeling for a few days. what could this be?

: This symptom is nondiagnostic. In that area of the upper abdomen there's the spleen and a part of the colon which takes a 90 degree turn there &amp; can trap gas. If this symptom persists I recommend having a physician examine and advise you about testing, if deemed advisable.
