Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have constant twisting pain in my upper stomach area for the past two weeks. I am unable to use restroom or stand for a long period of time. When I do these things, my pain gets worse. I am having a lot of twisting and turning due to pain. Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please mention whether you have a lot of stress, any changes in diet, or sleeplessness. All these things can predispose to excess acid secretion in the stomach causing heartburn, severe stomach pain, and vomiting. As it has been two weeks, I suggest you consult a general practitioner soon. You need to do some tests and you need to take medications to improve your situation. For now, you can avoid taking hot spicy foods. Eat food in small quantities and take more fluids. Do not take citric acid drinks like lemon or orange until you get settled. Avoid taking carbonated drinks. Take light food. Have a walk after taking food.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
