Feeling weird in your upper stomach can be caused by issues like acid reflux or thyroid problems affecting your gut.
Your upper stomach might feel unusual for a few reasons. One common cause is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid moves up into the esophagus, leading to discomfort. This can also cause symptoms in the head and neck area, like a sore throat or a feeling of a lump in the throat.
Another possible reason could be related to your thyroid. The thyroid gland, which is in your neck, can affect your stomach and intestines. If the thyroid isn't working right, it might cause problems like stomach pain or a weird feeling in your stomach.
Sometimes, taking certain medications, even in small doses, can cause sudden and severe stomach pain. If you're experiencing this kind of pain, it could be a reaction to something you've taken.
If you're feeling unusual discomfort in your upper stomach, it's important to pay attention to other symptoms you might have and talk to a healthcare professional if needed.
