What are some causes of mid/upper abdominal pain?
Very early Sunday morning (3:30am) I woke up with night sweats and abdominal pain around my belly button. Throughout the day I have been having a little bit of trouble breathing (not much) and the pain is getting worse. It seems to be around my belly button and also an inch or so below sternum, kinda towards the right/upper side. I did throw-up once a couple hours ago when I was hit with a severe pain in my stomach, but other than that I don’t feel sick, so I am ruling out the flu. It’s steadily getting worse (the pain and the sweats), but not ‘out of control’ yet. I am 27yrs old, male, in good health (besides this). I have noticed at nighttime (before this event) I started having some troubles breathing, but ONLY at night and it went away if I used an extra pillow to prop myself up. Any ideas?
Hi
It could be several things
1. Gas (also causes pain when breathing)- try massaging stomach and using a hot water bottle
2. Liver – often high abdo pain with feces that look different than normal
3. Gastro intestinal upset – eg 24 hour bug.
4. Intestinal twist.
I would say try hot water bottle and if pain doesn’t subside go to doctor esp if you start to sweat and get a fever
