Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi , I have been getting stomach pains on and off for a few years , they have been abit more frequent lately , when i lie down for an hour or so they generally go away . when i get it it always starts in the morning afetr i get up , and gets more sore if i am active .It does seem to correspond with diet (High fat , and acidy foods like grapes , tomatoes etc ) . some of my friends say it sounds like an ulcer ?
Hi Greetings There is not much reason to worry at this moment. The possibility of ulcer is low when someone has such abdominal pain intermittently. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with abdominal pain I would ask them these details to zero-in on my opinion: When did the pain start? How is it progressing since then? Where exactly over the abdomen is the pain? Do you have nausea or vomiting associated with it? Did you lose appetite and weight recently? If yes how much and in what time? I would like these details from you to help you further. meanwhile you can consult your doctor for endoscopy and anti acidity medicines like tablet pantoperazole and antacids. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help warm regards
