What Causes Pain And Bloating In The Abdomen?

I woke up this morning with a very aching and bloated stomach. It was basically in the upper/middle part of my stomach. It has stayed achy all day but I just assumed it was gas. Now, 14-15 hours later, it s gotten a lot worse and the pain is now mostly the lower right side. When I take a really deep breath or go from laying down to sitting up I could cry because of such a sharp pain in that area. Is this something that I should be concerned about. Should I give it the night and evaluate in the morning? I m not usually worried about these kinds of things but the pain is really bad.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
