What Causes Discomfort In The Upper Abdomen While On Nexium For GERD?
Hi there, lately I have notice a stick pin sensation in my upper abdomen. It s not painful, just uncomfortable, I am aware of it. It is a bit alarming. I take nexium for GERD, secondary to having my gallbladder remove several years ago. I have tried to adjust my eating habits, but GERD reigns. Occasionally, I have floating stools, not often. Everything else is fine.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to GERD. I suggest you use antacids daily such as Maalox.
I also suggest using daily PPI medication such as Nexium in the morning before breakfast. I suggest using a regular diet rich in fibers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
