What Causes Stabbing Abdominal Pain With Extreme Discomfort?
My husband is rarely sick. But he has had a stomach ache since this afternoon that got worse after dinner and is keeping him awake now. He tried to make himself throw up, but was unable for over an hour. He s never tried that before. But he did it about 30 minutes ago. It hasn t helped the pain. He said it s more like a stabbing pain, and it comes in waves. I think he also said upper abdomen and on both sides. Should we go to an ER tonight? He had some sort of chicken wrap for lunch, and fish yesterday. He had Chipotle for dinner tonight, but the pain started before he ate that. Any suggestions?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Consult a physician and get evaluated.
You can go for an ultrasound scan to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
