What Causes Pain And Heaviness In The Stomach?
I have been having stomach pain that has been with me since Sunday. I had this symptom 3 weeks ago and it went away after 3-4 days. I don t know if this is a simple stomach virus or something more serious. The pain changes from a fullness to sometimes sharp to moderate pain. Sometimes I get the chill s, this is why I think it might be a stomach virus. When I cough I can feel some pain, similar to a groin pain. I do notice when I belch or have a bowl movement, it makes my stomach feel better. Don t know if that helps. Any idea what

Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
