Suggest cure for a sickness in the stomach
Patient: after I ate my dinner last night, straight away I had a pain in the upper abdomen, i tried andrews liver salt 1 teaspoon after a while I was burping like a trooper then later I tried rennies, no good this is still with me this morning, how can I get rid of this gas? thanks Doctor: HI.Understood your problem:Pain in upper abdomen after dinner and you tried something at home, yet no relief in the morning. I would advise the following in such a patient:Continue Zantac 12 hourly.Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Domperidone or such motility regulators.Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ drinks.Early dinner. No late nights.Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positionWalk around after dinner.Think of the factors which increased the present problem, GERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines. EKG for the heart n a safer side to rule out cardiac problems. This helps all my patients and should help you hopefully.
