Why do I have stomach pain and tightening?

Answer by  km8738 (1917)

Pain, or tightening of the stomach can come from a few different causes. If it is coming from lack of food, your stomach is cramping because it has acid that is not going to use and is instead festering. It can also come from gas that is released during digestion.

There could be a lot of reasons for such symptoms. Some specific types of food can cause uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, and even pain. But, there also might be some condition in the stomach, such as ulcer or other disease which can be responsible for the pain.

You could be in real or false labor, or exhibiting starvation. Menstral cramps could also be as cause, or maybe regular cramping if you have just taken an hour long run. Then there is the worry of cancer or the relief of it being just gas, don't forget the ulcer.
