Hi doctor,

I am having indigestion and vomiting since one month. It is not frequent, but twice or thrice in a week. When I am having my dinner after eating half of the meals I feel some air in my stomach and suddenly vomit everything. I am having this issue in the morning too. When I wake up, I feel my stomach is full. Indigestion is also there. Please suggest me some medicine. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. It is usually due to changes in the pH of the stomach and changed secretions including hydrochloric acid. Go for some tests and upload the reports. Other causes may be a gross pathology of the gastrointestinal tract most probably in the upper GI tract. For that, an endoscopic examination is mandatory to rule it out. Suggest you to do H.pylori (Helicobacter pylori) screening test. You need to consult a gastroenterologist for thorough evaluation and management. He will go for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Ask your physician for prescription of Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) twice before meals and Itopride thrice a day before meals. Take Citrucel (Methylcellulose) dietary fiber supplement with plenty of water. Take bland diet and avoid spicy, hot and sour meals, fast and fried food.
