Hi Amos, Hi guys,
When I think about the upper abdomen I think of either gallbladder or liver. I also think of gastritis.
Does the pain change according to what you eat? Do fats and fatty foods make it worse or not? (sign of an unhappy gallbladder)
Is it worse or better if you do not eat? (fasting gas, burning and nausea could be a sign of gastritis)
Are you burping more than before? (dyspepsia?)
Do you have heartburn? (Gastric reflux?)
Does the pain radiate to your back (middle back to upper shoulder)? Gallbladder again...
There are a lot of possibilities but you need to give us some more info to try to help you to narrow things down a bit.
Also, has anything changed in your life or lifestyle (other than Covid)? Do you eat different foods? Have you started or stopped something in your life like certain meds? Sports?
And yes, any pain that persists should be looked into...no ignored
I hope that the confinement, reconfinement, deconfinement and re-re-confinement is not too hard on you all and that you are all staying safe and healthy.
