I have stomach and chest pain?

Question

Since Monday, I have had pain in my upper abdomen about 6-7 centimeters from my belly button. It hurts when I press, when I breathe and if I stretch or force. It feels like a contraction or a stabbing. I feel like the pain is going up to my sternum. What can I do about this type of pain and is it serious? Hello, I did not receive a shock and I do not have an injury. The first time I felt the pain was at night, so I don't know if I made a wrong move. I don't have nausea but I feel like it hurts more when I am hungry

Hello, thank you for your question! Would you be able to identify a probable cause for the symptoms you describe? An injury, a shock, an exercise, or a wrong movement? Do you have other symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or other? Thank you for the clarification. The cause of the pain you describe is difficult to pinpoint, especially on this platform. What I can suggest is that you consult a doctor if you see that the pain persists, gets worse, or becomes more frequent. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time, it would seem that the case description as you describe it is beyond the scope of pharmacy practice. Sincerely Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
