Stomach pain is one of the most common reasons people seek urgent medical care — but it can be hard to know when discomfort is just indigestion or a sign of something more serious. Whether you’re dealing with sharp cramps, bloating, or persistent pain, Sickday’s licensed clinicians can help you decide what to do next — and even bring the care directly to you.
What Causes Stomach Pain?
Stomach pain can stem from a wide variety of causes, including:
Viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
Food poisoning
Indigestion or acid reflux
Gas or constipation
Menstrual cramps
Appendicitis or gallbladder issues
Urinary tract infections
Sometimes it’s harmless. Sometimes it’s urgent.
When to Seek Urgent Care for Stomach Pain
Sickday’s clinicians recommend prompt evaluation if you experience:
Pain lasting longer than 24–48 hours
Severe cramping that comes in waves
Pain paired with vomiting or diarrhea
Fever, chills, or body aches
Blood in stool or vomit
Pain localized to one side (especially lower right — could be appendicitis)
In these cases, a professional evaluation is important — and waiting could make things worse.
