Dull pain in the central upper abdomen may be caused by abdominal trauma. It could also result from digestive system disorders such as acute or chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, or reflux esophagitis. Additionally, cardiovascular conditions like angina pectoris, pericarditis, or myocardial infarction might also cause this symptom. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examinations such as gastroscopy, liver function tests, and abdominal ultrasound to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment accordingly.
