Overview

History

  • The hallmark of abdominal angina, is disabling midepigastric or central abdominal pain within 10-15 minutes after eating.

Symptoms

  • Abdominal pain: severe pain that is out of proportion to the physical exam. It usually starts postprandially. In most cases, the pain gradually subsides after a few hours. Because the pain is so severe, most people develop a fear of eating and hence lose weight.[1]
