How To Cure Burning And Shooting Pains On The Upper Left Side Of The Abdomen?

hi i have been suffering from reflux for a long time and just over a year ago i had an upper GI endoscopy done and it turned out i had ulceration of my oesophagus. The doctor prescribed 30mg zoton fast tabs. Which when i have them i experience no acid but without them i have constant reflux. I now have this burning sometimes shooting pain on my upper left side of my abdomen and am worried its something much worse. My doctor that i consulted over a year ago said that i more than likely had anxiety which was causing a lot of this. I was worried at the time that i had oesophageal cancer and now my concerns are back.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, acid reflux disease needs proper line of treatment and it has to be taken on regular basis for particular time period, along with that it is equally important to take care in diet and life style.
Differential diagnosis is also matter of concern, as for example cardiac disease needs to be ruled out, it could be pulmonary pathologies.
Medication:- PPI (Omeprazole 40 mg once in day along with Domperidone 20 mg once in day, it has to be taken at evening time for six week)
Advise:- Avoid the spicy food, greasy food, alcohol, smoking, coffee, be stress free. (It can be H. Pylori )

hope this information helps.
