Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM for health query..

You are a 75 years old person who has heaviness stomach nausea and loss of appetite not improved with anti ulcer medicine.

It is a short duration of illness (10 days)and do not worry much.Acidity of stomach takes 3 months for a cure.

Considering your age I would suggest you to take up a basic ultrasound abdomen and screening of heart to ensure normalcy.

Take split small frequent bland diet and include probiotics in the diet.

Take care sir...
