I have a query about epigastric disease,just got out from the hospital today and my doctor said I got a epigastric pain,i stayed for 2 nights just observing me by giving me clear diet and soft diet and my pain stopped, so he sent me home with a medication good for 2 weeks and when its finished I have to see him.the medicine called APO OMEPRAZOLE. do I have to have an endoscopy to be sure what I got..
Hi. Thanks for your query. Absolutely yes, Upper GI endoscopy must be done as also the ultrasonography to confirm the exact diagnosis. This will surely help a proper treatment too. Continue the medicines , your Doctor would add more as per the findings.
