Dear Farah,
Pain in the upper abdomen can actually be caused by various factors, but most of them come from the digestive tract. Medically the condition of upper middle abdominal pain is often referred to as epigastric pain or heartburn. Some conditions that can cause heartburn include:
stomach ulcers or stomach irritation from stomach acid problems in the biliary system such as infection or stone pancreatitis or inflammation of the pancreas IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome or a collection of uncomfortable symptoms in the stomach such as nausea, fullness, abdominal pain, and accompanied by changes in bowel patterns such as loose stools or constipation gastrointestinal infection Maintaining gastric health is important in terms of diet and lifestyle changes. Reduce consumption of spicy foods with coconut milk and caffeinated drinks such as coffee and also regulate your diet so that it is not late and good psychological stress management. Also try not to lie down for at least 2 hours after eating to avoid stomach acid rising and irritating to the throat. If the condition does not improve, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
