What Do Pain And Bloating In The Upper Abdomen Indicate?

Since last week I’ve had upper stomach pain and feel like I would get a little bloated up there as soon as I would feel my stomach start to hurt I’d go to the bathroom my mouth will occasionally start to get watery and I sometimes feel my food is in my throat.

Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of an acid pepsin disease which comprises of a spectrum from simple gastritis to peptic ulcers. The classical causes can be curry, worry, hurry or H.Pylori. H Pylori is a bacterium causing damage to the stomach lining and can be detected through Urea Breath Test. A blood test of H. Pylori antibodies is an inferior test.
The feeling of having to pass motion may be due to an irritable bowel syndrome.
Both of these can be food and stress related. Eat wholesome food devoid of spices, avoid caffeinated or acidic beverages and foods , exercise at least 30 minutes a day and stress relieving measures like yoga would help.
In addition medicines like antacids, proton pump inhibitors and smooth muscle relaxants like pinaverium would be helpful.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
