I have a strong pain in my upper abdominal, accompanied by some nausea. Its sort of a burning piercing pain that is a little worse in the morning... when I eat antiacids it helps for about an hour... when I drink milk... it gets worse then better. And it hurts right after I eat. I also have a little swollen area on the right side of my abs in level with were the pain is. What could be wrong?
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. The two possible causes for your upper abdominal pain are peptic ulcer and pancreatitis. Since there is some relief with antacids peptic ulcer disease is more likely. An upper GI endoscopy and an ultrasound scan of the abdomen may be done to find the cause. Meanwhile, you can take omeprazole for relief. I hope that answers your query.
