Severe Bloating, Air Stuck Inside. Taking Hitak, Clomax. Do I Require Gastro Endoscope? Will Exercise Help?
Hi, I have been getting bloating severely, I try to burp but it seems that the air just sits inside and doesn't come out, my tummy looks like a badly pregnant. I have been taking Hitak and Clomax. I have asked the doctor to give me something more stronger as I just want all this gas to come out. Do I require an gastro endoscope? or what medicine can I take for fast effective gas release. Does exercise help?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post are attributed to increase gas formation in your stomach which can be secondary to excess acid production in stomach. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole (to be taken half an hour before meals) in combination with Domperidone. You need to maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status of your body. Avoid lipid rich diet & gas forming food products like cabbage, etc. Do regular exercise & avoid stress.
If symptoms still persist, an endoscopy can be carried out to detect any pathology in the Gastrointestinal tract.

You can take pantaprazole but in these conditions antacids like sucralfate will be a better option . Yes you should consult a gastroenterologist for same.
