Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
The symptoms you are describing in your query might be due to a complication of gastritis such as peptic ulcer, and the pain is uncontrollable by the prevacid.
The pain might be due to Prevacit itself, because one of the side effects of it is abdominal cramps and pain. So in this case it should be quit. Try Ranitidin which has also good effects in gastritis of Peptic ulcers.
The pain may be caused by malign diseases also, but in these cases is associated with significant weight loss, anemia, and other symptoms not related directly with the stomach.
If you are not getting relief by ranitidin that I recommended you above, please go to your healthcare center and through an endoscopy of your upper gastrointestinal tract done.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about your experience with me! I would appreciate that a lot.
