Upper abdominal pain

[jocorod]

Hello everyone I was just curious if anyone else gets upper abdominal pain while driving?? It feels like I have a rope tight around my upper abdomen and it gets tighter and tighter the longer I keep driving. I also get numbness on both arms and face when this happens

Hello yes I also get upper abdominal pain just under ribs when driving like a stitch but can get sore at times but had it for years now the doctor put in down to a hiatus hernia I had years ago but hope all goes well

maybe it’s your posture. if your sitting hunched over, it could cause similar symptoms. might help to have a cushion for your lower back and keep your head and shoulders back.

Hi jocorod ,

Sorry to hear about your pain while driving. Can I ask if this is something that you brought up with your doctor before? It may be worth mentioning at your next visit.

To help you with this, we have a great leaflet on how to make the most out of your GP's appointment. You can find it here: painconcern.org.uk/managing...

Hope this is helpful.

Best,
