What could be the reason for having abdominal pain, bouts of fatigue, dizziness, headache and vomiting?
Patient: I have been feeling sick for about three weeks. At first I thought it was a stomach flu but it hasn't really gone away. just gotten less severe for a period and then worsens again. I have stomach pain in my upper abdomen a bit more localized to the right. It is accompanied by bouts of fatigue,dizziness, headache and at times severe vomiting. I have also noticed stomach gurgling after I eat Doctor: Hi there,Thanks for your query.You are apparently suffering from Acute Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach with excessive acid formation) or perhaps, stomach ulcers with associated bacterial infection (due to H.pylori) of the stomach.Breath test for H.pylori will confirm/exclude infection. Ideally, you should undergo Endoscopy to see directly, the condition of the stomach inner lining, as well as, ulcers, if any.A course of a combination of anti-acid drug, such as Lansoprazole or Rabeprazole, along with a Prokinetic drug, such as, Metoclopramide or Ondansetron, will give you complete relief. If Breath test for H.pylori turns out to be positive, a 2 weeks' course of anti-H.pylori therapy will also be needed.Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports-  will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating)  to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
