You should seek medical attention from a doctor if you haven't done so yet. There are numerous causes of abdominal pain; the list can be narrowed down with the following details:

 

How old are you?

 

Have you had this pain in the past?

 

What were you doing when it started?

 

What is the location of the pain and does it radiate, or "shoot" to another part of the body?

 

Any triggers (eating, walking, bending over, urinating)?

 

Anything alleviate the pain (over the counter medication, lying flat, walking)?

 

Have you had vomiting or diarrhea?

 

Are you sexually active?
