I have upper abdominal pain which has lasted now for 15 months. I sweat profusely in the morning and have the pain. most times it wakes me up during the night. the pain is just under my left bust. i have had shingles last year. i have had a gastroscopy which showed inflammation of the bowel. i am taking omeprazole for this. i still have the pain which is a burnng pain feeling like someone has punched me just under the left bust high up on the abdomen . If I get upset the pain is worse. when i wake i am sweating and want to do a wee. the pain seems to be relieved but is still there.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. From your description, I hope the presence of an ulcer has been ruled out? Owing to your presentation, an ulcer should be ruled out, with the help of an endoscopic examination. As you mentioned, you were diagnosed with an inflamed bowel. You are on a proton pump inhibitor which will help in reducing gastric acid irritation and gas production.  It would also be advisable to add anti-spasmodic medication to your routine as this will greatly help in treating your condition. Please visit the doctor for a more elaborate diagnosis as just inflammation of the bowel is not sufficient. I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to me anytime for further clarifications. Best wishes.
