What Causes Pricking Sensation And Pulling Pain In Abdomen?

My girlfriend has a pricking sensation and a pulling pain in her abdomen when she breathes and laughes hard. She is not able to sleep straight. This has started after she consumed vodka and was sleeping in the car. She was empty stomach and initially we thought it was gastric but later these symptoms are lasting since 2 days. Please help us

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your girlfriend's problem can be most likely due to alcoholic gastritis. For such condition I would recommend taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole for 1 week. This is available in over the counter in brands like Nexium. This should be taken 1 hour before break fast daily. If the pain is severe or no improvement then approach your GP.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
