Hi
The stomach pains and spasms are due to medicines you have taken for bad chest during and after hospitalisation.
Please take the medicines after food.
Please add Rabeprazole and domperidone capsule, Antispasmodic Dicyclomine tablet.
Get an ultrasound abdomen and exclude other causes of abdominal pain like kidney stone.
Wish you good health
Regards
