Been Experiencing Painful Abdomen, Ribs Pain, Have GERD, Troubled Sleep And Hard Stool. What Can Help?

Hi, My name is Helen and I have been experiencing pain in my abdomen on the right side just below my ribs. This pain gets worse after eating and I have also vomited. I have Gerd and take prevacid for that and even with that, I am still getting pain. I am having trouble sleeping because of it. I have gas and hard stools and have taken meds for both. I am worried !

Hi Helen, welcome to Health carer magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You have pain on right side of abdomen below the ribs. Pain becoming worse and getting vomiting. You are using prevacid for GERD, it is also not working. Sleep is desturbed with pain,you have gas and hard stools.
Probably the erosion has increased, or you are using more irritant foods.
Probably this is the time to change the drug, and diet.
Avoid taking more of spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. you may need to have gastroscopy besides other routine tests for confirmation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
