What Causes Upper Abdomen Pain At Night?

I have pain around mid to upper abdomen on the right, it mild when sitting or lying down but it gets worst when I stand. The pain is not consistent, it comes and goes. I don’t have any change in bowel movements or vomitus not have my eating habits changed.

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

The symptoms you are experiencing might be due to acidity/gas trouble. You could try taking a course of proton pump inhibitors (to reduce the acidity ) like pantoprazole after consulting with your physician.

If it doesn't get better, get a complete blood picture,and an abdominal ultrasound done, visit a gastroenterologist.
