What causes persistent stomach pain?
Patient: i have pain my tummy all the time. and funny feeling.  doctor suggested me to take painkilles , omeperasol and gaviscone. but painkilles make my pain worse.  doctor mention it is golstone but he needs magnified scan. i do not know how long i shall wait? could you pls advise me what i should do? Doctor: Hi. If the painkillers are increasing the pain in abdomen, this can be due to acid-peptic disease. Continue with Omeprazole and gaviscone. Go for a bland diet. Avoid oily and spicy foods. Have frequent small meals to cover up the empty stomach , which increases the acidity. No painkillers at all. You do need an Ultrasonography to diagnose or rule out certain diseases . And more important you need is an Endoscopy of upper GI tract. You should not wait, do all these tests as soon as possible.
