What Causes Bloating Of Abdomen Along With Acid Reflux And Burps?

I have stomach gas, a hard stomach and have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in the past. I also have a 60-65% clog in my lower descending heart artery. I am currently feeling symptoms of the extreme stomach gas, hard stomach and some acid reflux. I am also feeling like my heart is racing on occasion, (relieved by a burp) and a little shaky and light headed on occasion. I can t tell if this is anxiety, pure stomach issue or possibly heart related. No doctors are available now except the emergency room. Any suggestions on a course of action? I have taken a few Pepcid AC-s and they give some relief.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query have bloating of abdomen along with acid reflux and burps, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to belching . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You should take few preventive measures such as keep bed raised on bed side. Avoid large meal. You should atke small but frequent meals. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food and drink warm water several times a day for bloating. Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Peanut could be the cause and apart from this fatty food is the major cause. Alka seltzer could quell this, Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet. Take pro-kinetics such as Domperidon.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
