Muscle Injuries
Excessive exercise of the abdomen or not warming up correctly prior to an intense workout could result in a pulled muscle in the abdominal area. Such occurrences can cause pain in the upper stomach.
Symptoms of such an injury can include soreness or tenderness when moving and swelling. It may be possible to stretch the muscle without causing pain. Gentle massages and rest are the best ways of managing a muscle injury, but hot and cold packs may also help.
