Pain in upper abdomen and sides?!
Question: earlier today I started having pain in my stomach. It has spread to my sides and become very severe. I don't know if it is serious because often stomach pain isnt. But then again it can be something serious. I just wanted to know what this might be.

Your right, it could be nothing. Sometimes that kind of thing happens to me and it'll go on for hours, with sporatic occurances of very sharp local pain and less severe generalized stomach pain, before it occurs to me to try a anti-gas tablet even though it doesn't really feel like gas and I haven't eaten anything weird. For me, its worked in the past. I'm not suggesting you do that, because I don't know enough about your symptoms, and I'm not a medical person either. It just sounds a little familiar, so it might be something to consider if you haven't already. Also, if you haven't, have a look at WebMD(dot)com. That can help you to figure out if you ought to be alarmed or not. If you really mean "severe", though, I hope you'll go into the ER. If its nothing you'll be embarrassed, sure, but you'll get over it. Hope you feel better soon.
what side? if it's the right it could be your appendix.
Probably the flu. Just deal with it and if it gets worse, go to a doctor.
what kind of pain is it? sharp shooting or a dull ache? did u eat anything different than normal? any nausea, problems with your bowels? i'm a nursing student, so answering these questions can help to narrow it down
it could be gas. that sounds kinda weird, but gas can be very painful. you have bowels and intestines all along the top of your stomach and down your sides. maybe take some Gas-X or some other medicine that gets rid of gas
Good idea to consult your doctor
