What Is The Remedy For Nausea And Tummy Pain?
Question: Hi, I am having very bad nausia and tummy pains. Nausia is worse, which has been ongoing for a few weeks.
It seems to be getting worse and now affecting me with anxiety attacks etc. I have loose bowel symptoms and
smelly. Appetite has gone and now loosing weight. Drinking ok (water) and tea. I am inclined to think its bacteria, but seem to show signs of both symptoms. I am on a tablet for nausea and panadol. Tried Omniprosol for 6 weeks, didnt make
any difference.
Brief Answer:
GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Your symptoms mentioned above are typically seen in acidpeptic disease especially in GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).
Please avoid Panadol, it can aggravate the condition though it may help to get rid of the pain to some extent.
Taking a stronger antacid like Pantoprazole or Lansoprazole for more than 15 days can be considered a definitive treatment for your condition.
You may not need medication for nausea once you are on the above mentioned drugs.
Also avoid spicy and fatty foods. Do maintain regular food timings.
If the problem do not subside even after 15 day course with the above medication. Then a upper GI endoscopy would become helpful.
