Suggest Treatment For Recurring Nausea And Pain In Upper Left Abdomen

I'm due to get an endoscopy in three weeks. Recurring nausea. Pain in upper left stomach under the ribs radiating towards the back. Sometimes mild headache and sweating. Nausea comes on quickly and then after breathing deeply and having a drink goes away. I'm a person who worries a lot and am on anti depressants and take Somac from my doctor which was helping but now symptoms are back.

Hi, Thanks for your question. Please rate my answer if you are satisfied.
Your stomach problem is related to over production of gastric acid. You even might have developed an ulcer because of that. There is a term known as Stress Ulcer. Which means the stomach acid production and ulcer formation could also be linked with your psychological condition. Therefore, having an endoscopy done is a good idea. But, along with taking your gastric treatment you should also visit your psychiatrist. And don't worry you'll be fine :)
