Brief Answer:
Some investigations are to be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Have seen your details.
There are two possibilities-
1)Hernia-An ultrasound abdomen should be done to rule out possibility of herniation.
2)Acid peptic disorder/Dyspepsia-There may be inflammation that has happened over time from acid coming up from your stomach ausing irritation and spasms in muscles and giving you a feeling if fullness.
Test suggested-
Ultrasound abdomen
Endoscopy
Treatment till tests are done-
Take a antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg over the counter once a day.
A combination of anti inflammatory with antispasmodic can also be taken.Dicyclomine 10 mg twice daily is a good option.
Have you ever been investigated for palpitations?
Echo or stress test has been done?
What are your anxiety levels?
Medications tried?
Duration of illness?
Your age?
Any medication you are on?
Waiting for reply.
Regards!
