Dear Debbie,
Given the history that you have an ulcer and you do suffer from
stress, the symptoms in your post can be attributed to accumulation of gas in secondary to excess acid secretion in stomach.
However, an ECG should be done to rule out any Cardiovascular cause for the same.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of
Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) &
antacid gel (to be taken after meals).
They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief.
And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration.
3. Avoid fast foods, carbonated drinks & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.
4. Avoid
smoking & alcohol.
5. Keep away stress, think positive.
If symptoms still persist, kindly
consult a Gastroenterologist for proper clinical examination.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
