What Causes Pain,heaviness And Burning In Upper Abdomen?

Hello Dr. Samuel, I have been experiencing pain, heaviness, burning in my upper abdomen for last two weeks. It seems that I am in pain when I am hungry, however, when I have some food I am full right away. In addition, I have had diarrhea for two days, the other days I could not go at all. I started taking prilosec and the pain and diarrhea are gone, however, I still have burning sensation in my stomach that I believe grew stronger after I started taking prilosec. Could you please advise what should I do? Maybe there is some kind of home remedies? Thank you for your help!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of heavyness and burning in upper abdomen but feel full even on eating something. Also noted your history of diarrhea which stopped on prlosec.
I would suggest you the following:
Continue prilosec.
Consult your Doctor to get an upper GI Endoscopy, ultrasound and X-ray chest in standing position, relevant blood, stool and urine tests.
This will give you the probable diagnosis, additional prescription for prokinetics and antacid to start with.
Specific treatment on diagnosis.
