I am a 48 year old woman.  I have been having pain in my abdomen on and off since yesterday morning.  The pain is located from just under my breasts down to my navel in kind of a band all the way across.  The pain feels like sharp poking all through this area.  Pain is much worse when standing and almost gone when sitting.  I have had no fever or nasea or vomiting.  Appetite and bowel activity are normal.  What could be going on?
Hi, from history it seems that you might be having abdominal colic giving this problem. There might be having gastritis or hyper-acidity. Take some antispasmodic like Metal spas or Cyclops for colic pain. Take Omeprazole daily for few days.Sometimes some cardiac ailments like angina or coronary insufficiency does give this type of pain. Go for EKG to rule out any cardiac cause. Ok and take care.
