Suggest Treatment For Recurring Stomach Pain And Discomfort

Hi, I have been experiencing stomach discomfort (occasionally I would call it pain) for some time now, primarily above the belly button but sometimes it can feel as though it is below. I saw a doctor about four months ago and he thought a course of anti-acids may resolve the issues. I suffered reactions though so stopped after 4 or 5 days. The discomfort/pain is not always there but is relatively frequent and enough to make me concerned, gence the visit to the doctor. it may or may not be related but, after drinking say 3 or 4 pints of lager, I often a little later feel very nauseus and suffer bouts of sneezing and a runny nose.

Hello there,
The recurrent nature of your complaints does warrant a further investigation. It would be good if you get an ultrasound abdomen . I want to rule out appendicitis or any bowel obstruction. If you have attacks of spasm like pain then tab buscopan will relieve it but as i said It would be great if you could get that ultrasound as soon as possible and then with the reports in hand we can discuss your treatment options,

Hope this helps,
Please feel free to ask any further questions to me,
