Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Most probably you are suffering from gastritis. I suggest you try doing the following.

  1. You can take cold milk, which is very soothing.
  2. Avoid spicy food.
  3. Take more of fruits and salad.
  4. Eat small portions at frequent intervals.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you very much. I have been panicking as I have an anxiety problem. I thought it is an ectopic pregnancy.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Pregnancy is a special event in the life of a lady. So, take good care of yourself. Your teeth need special care, if there are any dental caries, go for a filling. I suggest taking Folic acid 5 mg daily, to prevent any abnormalities to your baby, as you are 35 years old. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicine after their consent. Also get an ultrasonography of the abdomen done, to listen to the baby's heartbeat. Along with this, I suggest you do a complete blood count and urine examination. Relax and enjoy your pregnancy without any worry, but be very regular for a checkup with your gynecologist. Feel free to consult me with the above reports.
