Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

The bloated and heavy sensation that you are having could be due to the gastritis and the pain in back could be due to reflux gastritis. You will need a 7 days therapy of ranitidine 150mg twice a day for 7 days. And also try avoiding methamphetamine if its not suiting you.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
