Upper abdominal cramps

What is an upper abdominal cramp?

Due to various causes, abnormal increases in stomach motility lead to excessive contractions.

It means experiencing severe pain at the top of the sternum.

Symptoms include

1. I suddenly feel a severe squeezing pain at the tip of my sternum.

When pain occurs, the face becomes pale, and nausea, vomiting,

Symptoms such as dizziness and cold sweats accompany it.

3. Various symptoms such as hemoptysis or dysphagia depending on the cause

It can also be accompanied by symptoms.

As a cause

 

Gallstones, pancreatitis, gastric ulcers, or acute gastritis, etc.

Stress

It is highly likely to be a problem caused by eating habits.

Helicobacter pylori infection and excessive consumption of spicy foods can cause upper abdominal pain due to stomach cramps.

Diagnosis and tests

Gastroscopy

Abdominal ultrasound, abdominal X-ray examination

There is a CT scan, etc.

Preparing for treatment

Use antispasmodics or sedatives to alleviate symptoms.

Let's proceed with fluid therapy.

 

I also had an episode of stomach cramps a few days ago.

I am introducing myself through writing.

It is necessary to develop the habit of listening to the sounds of your body first.

      커피도 좋지 않다는 이야기를 들었어요. 저는 빈 속에 커피를 자주 마시는데 커피도 끊어야 하는 걸까요?

      커피가 저절로 안들어가요
      버틸수 있을때까지 안 마셔보려해요

      저도 위경련이 있어서 공감이 되네요..요즘 전 아침을 꼭 챙기려고 하고 있고 커피를 마시기 위해서요. 아침 커피 한 잔은 포기를 못하겠더라고요. 그래서 간단하게 식사랑 같이 커피를 마시고 됐고 오후부터는 커피 대신 허브티 종류를 마시고 있답니다
