Question : I am a young man of 33. I am feeling discomfort in my belly and feeling a bit bloated but but I am yet to have dinner and my last meal was about 7 hours ago. I have also been belching/burping a lot for some time now. I have no heart burns and I do not feel sick. I also do not feel any need to vomit and there is no blood in my stool. It's just that I feel a bit bloated and its causing me some discomfort and I have been burping/belching more than normal. Please what do you advise?

Thank you Dr. R.K., I shall get the complete blood count done and blood glucose level checked.
I have a follow-up question: Can I get the Omeprazole and Reglan as over-the-counter drugs? Am I to take both of them together and is there a certain way to take them? Please shed a bit more light on this advice so I can use them effectively.
Thank you.
