Have Gnawing In Stomach With Dull Pain. Feeling Gassy And Shaky Legs. Cure?

Hi...I'm experiencing some stomach troubles over the past few days. This is unusual for me. My symptoms are gnawing in my stomach above my belly button, dull pain in same area, gets worse during the evening and night, eating does not help but it's similar to hunger pain so I eat to try and alleviate the discomfort, feel gassier then normal, no bloating, and get a shaky feeling in my legs. I am female, 41, overall great health, and not overweight.
Any advise you could give me would be great...Thanks...Lisa

hi there, your symptoms are suggestive of peptic ulcerations and are usually caused due to faulty eating habits, stress or smoking along with the other two. Other causes could be due to any gall bladder dysfuntion. First of all you need to regularise your meals to taking 4 small meals preferabley low fat at regular intervals, stop smoking if you do smoke, and take a course of antacid like Pantop along with antibiotics for H.Pylori infection. Your GP will be able to prescribe it to you.Next would be to get your blood sugar levels checked fasting and post prandial along with an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any gall bladder pathology. Hope these simple measures help. Take care.
