Hi all. Any advice really appreciated. For about a month I have had on and off twinges of discomfort in my middle upper stomach, approximately 2-3 inches above my belly button. It feels like a quick jab, then goes away, not constant at all, but comes back quite a few times throughout the day. Also I have been noticing that after I eat, I am getting bloated feeling and really full in my upper abdomen, not really lower abdomen. Not really tender to touch, just uncomfortable when I get those twinges. I say twinges because it's the best way to describe it, fleeting jab then it's gone, only to come back again though. Occasionally I feel these twinges in my upper chest area too, fleeting. I have recently had two EKG's done due to other issues and they were normal. Anyways, I'm just wondering what could be causing this. I don't really feel heartburn or reflux, but I do belch and pass gas, some days a lot, and some it seems like I don't at all. One day I'll have loose stools, not diarrhea, but soft/loose, and recently there have been a few days where I've had to take Colace stool softener because stools were hard and difficult to pass. Ughhh, any advice as to what this pain could be?View Thread
