What Causes Persistent Abdominal Bloating And Cramps?

default
Posted on Thu, 18 Feb 2016
Question: I was awake all night with bloating and stomach cramping. It finally subsided about 6 am. I feel fine now except for mild tenderness on the right side if I press on it. Should I waste my day by going to emergency or can I assume it was indigestion? I am otherwise in great shape.
