What Causes Stiffness In The Upper Abdomen While Standing?
When I m standing up, my upper abdomen is as hard as a brick. When I sit or lie down, it gets soft again. Could this be some type of hernia? Several years ago, my gastro Dr. said I had a small hiatal hernia - that was at least 15 years ago, after an endoscopy.

Hi,
It can be a hernia or condition like recti divarication.
