Have Asthma, GERD, Anxiety Disorder. Losing Weight. On Medication. How To Get Cured?

Thanks for writing in.
The body and mind are connected. That is the reason when you are anxious or stressed out, you get pains, stomach complaints etc.
In view of all your test results coming back as normal, I would take it as a positive sign. There is nothing to worry about.
Your stomach pain could be due to one or more of the following reasons: indigestion, trapped gas, acidity/gastritis,anxiety.
I would suggest that you drink warm water at regular intervals.
Eat smaller quantity but frequent meals (at least 5-6 times a day).
Avoid oily ,spicy XXXXXXX fried food..
Most importantly, sign up for yoga classes , if you have a good instructor in your area. Regular practice of yoga helps both the mind and the body. However, it will take time to get results. A healthy mind has a healthy body.
If you have symptoms like blood in the stools, unexplained weight loss(in spite of eating well, there is weight loss),tiredness, anaemia, eg.. then you would require further investigations. As of now, everything seems ok.
Hope I have answered your question. Do get back to me if you have any further queries.
Have a great day :)

Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan


X rays can help partly ; for example if there is a bowel perforation, there will be air under the diaphragm in the X XXXXXXX For eg. if there is intestinal obstruction, there will be air fluid levels. However, X XXXXXXX cannot tell us about all the conditions in the abdomen.
The best test to view the esophagus and stomach would be an endoscopy (Oesophagoscopy or gastroscopy).
Ultrasound Abdomen or CT (computed tomography) would be more helpful to know about organs like stomach,pancreas, liver cysts/tumors) etc. CT scan is more specific.
Hope this helps :)
