Hello doctor,
This year, I am 62 years old. I often have abdominal cramps in the area above the navel and have frequent insomnia with headaches and depression for 1 year. So the doctor asked me what is the pain in the abdomen above the navel with a persistent headache? How is the treatment, doctor? Thank you.

Answered by Doctor Dao Minh Phuong - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine Vinmec Times City International Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What is the pain in the abdomen above the navel with a persistent headache? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, you currently have problems in 2 organ systems: Digestive (abdominal pain in the upper navel) and neuropsychiatric (insomnia, depression, headache). One of the most common causes that can explain your condition is stress.
Ideally, you should see a Neurologist and a Gastroenterologist for advice on more specific diagnostic tests and treatment.
If you still have questions about abdominal cramps above the navel, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
