Pain Just Below Rib Cage, Endoscopy Normal. Sucral-O Gives Relief, But Pain Recurs When Stopped. Permanent Solution ?

hello doctor, i am a 28yr old housewife, for the last year or so, i experience pain just below my ribcage, concentrate at a center point and very surprisingly it happens only at odd hours of night(...1am, 2am etc.)...the pain is very painful and unbearable. I underwent endoscopy last year(2011), but it revealed nothing...!On some Dr s advice, I started taking the medicine Sucral-O . and continued it for six months...during that time i had relief...now for some time i am not on that medicine and again the pain recurs..iffel very helpless..I can t have proper sleep owing to this agonizing pain!!

hi there, you seem to be suffering from gastric reflux and peptic ulcer disease, for that you need to be on antacid for a continous period of atleast 3 months till the ulcer heals and make some minor changes in your life style. First of all you need to have regular small frequent fat and spice free meals , also try to take a short stroll immediatedly after supper and give a gap of atleast one hr between your bed time and meal. Also if you are overweight you need to take up some type of exercise and lose some weight. Mental stress can also lead to dyspepsia and some calming activity will help to take care of that . Hope these small changes help besides you should consult your doctor to treat you for H. pylori infection as well . Take care.
