I have a very painful pain right in the middle of my abdomen. I have done nothing to strain myself/pull any muscles, and the pain has been persistent for about three days. I did just give birth to a baby girl on January 11th, 2014, but my stomach has never hurt like this until just recently. It is EXCRUCIATING pain, it literally hurts to touch with my fingertips pressed against it ever so lightly. I am really wondering what is wrong with me, and what actions I need to take.
You are probably suffering from gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Here hyperacidity causes the acid to regurgitate into the lower part of esophagus leading to the pain that you are talking about. It may be caused due to stress or prolonged gap between meals. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid spicy foods. Take omeprazole capsule once daily before breakfast for one and a half months. I hope that you would get relief. It might still be worthwhile to get yourself checked by a doctor and to intervene accordingly.
