Hi,

We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what your sister had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it can due to overtreatment of Thyroid or due to hyperthyroidism. Though local causes need to be worked up as the possibility of stomach lining inflammation called gastritis or acid peptic disease.

Using antacids like Omeprazole before meals and motility agents like domperidone can help with symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
