Is Upper Abdominal Pain After Eating A Symptom Of Stomach Ulcer?
Please give details and start medicines.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of pain in the middle top of the stomach if you eat late at night after work, get sick on eating, pain is not going away, happened 3 times in 3 months. wondering if you have ulcer in stomach. Taking indigestion tablets.
Since this has happened 3 times in 3 months, there would definitely be gastritis. Ulcer pains go on for a longer duration of time say days and weeks together if you do not take proper medicines and care.
I would like to know a few details:
- For how many days the problem lasts?
- Is there any referred pain in the back at the same time?
- What is the type of the pain- burning, cutting, twisting or so?
- Any particular food or beverages that increase or reduce the problems?
- Black stools anytime?
- Any other information you would like to share.
Start few medicines immediately:
PPI like Omeprazole 40 mg daily
Antacid 3 tsf every 3 hours, particularly when on empty stomach.
Foods to be taken on time
Soft bland diet.
Avoid hot, spicy foods
No late nights.
And most important no stress and/or anxiety.
Get an appointment of a Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation, examination, Upper GI Endoscopy and further tests as may be advised.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
