What Causes Chronic Pain In The Upper Abdomen?
Chronic pain in my upper abdomen. Can only eat small amounts, or I get nauseous. Loss of appetite and loosing alot of weight due to this. No vomiting or diarreah. Been chronic about a month, after having periodic boughts earlier, but not having the chronic pain till the last month. I'm more and more suspecting an ulcer. How would I know if that is what it is? Just got a Hpilori test done today, don't have results.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Let the report of H. pylori come .if test comes positive take medicine for that .
If results come negative then you should undergo endoscopy as it is best modality to rule out gastritis or ulcer . Restrict spices and fried and fast foods plus diairy products . Eat small meals .
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
