5. Muscle Pain
There are so many muscles in the body which extend to the upper parts of the stomach, meaning that the pain caused by a fairly mild muscle injury can actually result in considerable pain in the upper abdominal region.
Usually, with muscle pain, gentle massages and even good old fashioned rest will help a person make a full recovery very quickly. To speed up the process even further and to gain just a little bit extra relief, there is always the option of using cold or hot packs directly on to the affected muscles. The time to see a doctor or a healthcare professional usually comes if muscle pain in the upper abdominal region hasn’t got any better after a couple of days.
Usually, it’s just a case of having done far too many sit-ups that is to blame, but if the pain persists or gets worse for no apparent reason, the affected person needs to seek advice and the opinion of a medical professional.
