Lightheadedness, Upset Stomach And Poking Feeling In Stomach. What Could This Be?
I am 17 years old.. I have been feeling like something is poking me in the stomach. Sometimes in the morning I feel sick to my stomach. Me and my boyfriend noticed the my stomach(above the bellybutton area) has gotten harder. Sometimes when I get light headed an get sick to my stomach. What does this mean?
Hi Welcome to health care magic. The symptoms in the supraumbilical region consisting of pain and tightness of stomach are suggestive of acid peptic disorder due to high acid output and maybe some ulceration and mucositis. You should get examined by a local physician and get treated with PPIs or other anti ulcer antisecretory medication most likel under supervision of a physician or a gastroenterologist. You should avoid alcohol, fried foods, fast foods and smoking if any of them happen to be in your habits. I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
