7. Abdominal Pain
The abdomen can be divided into 9 regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, left lumbar, umbilical, right lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, and left iliac region. Abdominal pain can be due to non-serious and serious conditions such as gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis, diverticulitis, and more.
The underlying cause of abdominal pain can often be suspected based on the location of pain. In pericarditis, abdominal pain is most often seen among children. In severe cases of chronic pericarditis, there can also be abdominal swelling.
