Stomach pain from fasting
I had fasted today till afternoon and from evening I have stomach pain which is unbearable. I ate my dinner thinking that it might be from not having food for entire day but it was still paining when I was eating. The pain is not continuous but when it comes and goes immediately it stings like hell

I am Dr Shamoon. Stomach pain after prolonged fasting can be due to acidity or gastritis, but unbearable pain should not be assumed to be simple gas. The exact location, vomiting, fever and bowel symptoms help decide the cause.
Next Steps
Take small, light meals and fluids rather than a heavy dinner, but avoid painkillers such as ibuprofen on an empty stomach. Seek urgent care today if pain is severe or persistent, or with repeated vomiting, fever, black stools, faintness or a rigid abdomen. You may book a Practo consultation for review.
