Question : I've had terrible indigestion for 24 hours . I'm very stressed out and I eat very quickly! Do you think related and what can I do to feel better. Are you concerned?
Brief Answer:
Take prilosec (omeprazole).ORS is to be taken if there is vomiting/diarrhea
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic and for choosing me specifically to answer your query.
I have gone through the details but would request you to elaborate upon what exactly you mean by indigestion. I mean to ask whether it is just a distended feeling or whether it is associated with other symptoms like abdominal cramps, vomiting or passage of loose stools. The interventions would depend upon the associated symptoms.
As of now, I would suggest you to take prilosec (omeprazole) and see if it provides relief. You can also take some antacids along. See if these help. If there is associated vomiting or passage of loose stools, you need to take ORS (Oral rehydration solution) to aviod getting dehydrated. Let me know how you feel and I would suggest accordingly.
Regards

Its a feeling of air in the throat like a slight compromised breath.. then a burp
Brief Answer:
You seem to have GERD and hyperacidity
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. You seem to be having gastroesophageal reflux and hyperacidity. Take prilosec as suggested but for one and a half months continually. You can take some liquid antacids and soda or carbonated/aerated drinks. Take small but frequent meals. Regular exercise is a must. Do not go to bed immediately after food.
Hope that helps. Let me know in case of further queries.
