Recurring Indigestion, Bubbly Feeling Around Chest Area After Stopping Antibiotics, Pepcid, Normal Blood Tests, Had Ketones. What Is The Cause?
Hello, 2 weeks ago i was told i had ketones , and i had indigestion, he gave me antibiotics and pepcid for it. i started feeling better until i ran out of antibiotics. About 4 days ago my antibioics ran out and ive been feeling poor again, but 2 days ago, i had this bubbly draining feeling around my left cheast area but above my breast and it felt like it would drain into the side of my abdomin and sometimes i would feel it in my back.. what do you think it is? Im only 13. And i had blood tests that came out fine like 1 week ago.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
For the indigestion, I think a lifestyle change is what we are looking at. Get some exercise and eat a healthy and balanced diet. Avoid soda and coffee. Also, till you have the indigestion, you can take Tablet Prevacid OTC once daily one hour before breakfast. In the long term, a lifestyle change would be more important.
Take care

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Indigestion and diarrhea sometimes causes passage of ketones. A course of antibiotics usually is enough to take care of the infection. The symptoms you are feeling are likely to be related to weakness and will improve over time.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
