Question
Hello doctor,
Suddenly these days I often have epigastric pain. To this day, there is no pain in the entire abdomen but only a sharp pain in the left epigastrium when taking a deep breath or doing activities. Every time it hurts, it hurts the shoulder (on the armpit) at the same time, although I don't know if it has anything to do with it. So the doctor told me that sudden epigastric pain is a sign of what disease? I thank you doctor.
