Hello
Your symptoms are suggestive of acid peptic disorder. Its is a disease caused by stress, irregular food habits and excessive and spicy foods. I would suggest you to take a course of Omeprazole 20 mg once a day on an empty stomach, for 10 days and see if there is any improvement. You should also quit smokin and alcohol consumption and try to exercise a little, at least half an hour a day.
Hope you get well soon.

Hello dear,

The symptoms like nausea & abdominal cramps can be due to:
1. Any infection in the Gastrointestinal tract
2. Peptic ulcer
3. Anemia- due to dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which interferes with blood formation

The symptoms like tiredness can also be attributed to the above mentioned causes & in addition:
1. Chronic fatigue syndrome
2. Inadequate hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
3. Any fluctuation in the blood pressure & blood sugar levels.
4. Hormonal & metabolic causes.
5. Stress, inadequate sleep, etc.

Peeling of skin indicates also indicates dietary deficiency of essential nutrients & inadequate hydration status of the body.

So, investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen, estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take a healthy diet with lots of fruits & vegetables.
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration.
3. Avoid fast foods.
4. Avoid smoking & alcohol.
5. Keep away stress..think positive.
6. Exercise regularly & practice meditation.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Thanks & take care.
