What Are The Frequent Hunger Cramps In Upper Abdomen?
Hello, For the past three days I have been having what feels like constant hunger pangs. It does feel a little different though - high in my abdomen and almost like cramps. After eating it seems to calm it down a little, but it comes back shortly after. Any ideas?

Thank you for writing HCM. Your pain seems to be hunger pain. This might be because of you are not taking proper meals or/and at proper time.This might have caused mild gastritis and that is why it is recurring.When your stomach is empty the acid present in it irritates your stomach which causes pain. I would suggest you to first you stick to your time table of eating, and add Tab pantoprazole 20 mg twice daily empty stomach. Take bland diet for next few days.
