Diagnosed With IBS And Experiencing Gastric Problem . What Are The Remedies?
Hi I have had gas and bowel problems such as IBS. This will sound crazy but at times my gas travels up into my chest' back' neck' and head. I assume its gas because when I apply pressure to where it is at the time, back, chest, or head I feel it bubbling down until it releases through anal or belching. I feel like the gas can get to far in my head and stop oxygen to the brain. Is this a known condition and what should I do? I am 32yrs. Old and this has been occurring sincemy childhood. People think iI'm crazy when I have to apply pressure until the gas starts coming out.
Gas may present with variety of symptoms. You need few investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen,Upper GI endoscopy.
There is no specific treatment for IBS. Its treatment includes diet alteration,behavior therapy and medicines can be given if needed. For gas you can take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg once daily half hour before food for six weeks. Get well soon.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
