What causes my abdominal pain while sleeping?I only experience this pain once in a while and only when sleeping.  Ill wake up in the middle of the night and Ill be experiencing kinda sharp pain in my abdomen and when I breath out it makes it worse and all I have to do is sit up or get up and walk around and it will instantly disappear. As I  mentioned it doesnt happen every night, its not a long lasting pain, and it only happens when Im sleeping. What could be the issue?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it might not be possible to pinpoint the problem without a physical examination, if I were your treating doctor, I would after a physical examination possibly would go for some tests like a complete blood count, a serum amylase and lipase estimation, liver function test, and an ultrasound of abdomen if need be to rule out any intra-abdominal pathology. Till then, I would prescribe you with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
