What Causes A Constant "pit" Like Feeling, Bordering Nausea Just Above The Navel?

Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. The commonest cause of pit like feeling above the naval and nausea can most probably be due to acidity, gastritis related issues. Since you are 61 year old obese female, cancer of the stomach should always be ruled out by appropriate upper GI Endoscopy and biopsy. This is very important at your age as it also helps to see for any acidity related problems so that a proper management in the form of a PPI like Omeprazole, antacid and Domperidone can be done. If there is a surgical cause further management can be done under the guidance of a General Surgeon. You have also to take care about diet as you have high blood sugar and cholesterol levels as these act to enhance the symptoms of other problems. Also go for the tests of blood, urine and stool, CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy to see if there is any specific reasons for the other symptoms and get treated properly. If all the investigations are within normal limits then the probable diagnosis is IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome and hence should be treated by control of anxiety and stress. Stop the milk and milk products as you have intolerance to dairy products indefinitely. Continue Flomist as and whenever required, you can also try oral antihistamines of there is a overload of the allergens.
