What Causes Stomach Pain At Night?
Hello, i have had stomach pains for the last few weeks or so but they have been becoming less and less often. They occor mostly around 3 at night, waking me up. The pain is as though the upper area of my abdomen is being twisted. Ive been eating my normal diet, slowed down my exercise a small bit though.

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This is the typical history in a case of ?duodenal ulcer.
This is due to excess secretion of acid producing an ulcer.
This can be due to hot/spicy food or late night meals or excessive steess or alcohol/smoking..
Avoid this.
Endoscopy is advisable for confirmation of diagnosis.
Consult your doctor for medicines like omeprazole, syp. sucralfate etc.
Hope this information is useful.
Wish you a good health.
Thanks.
