What Can Be The Cause For Stomach Bloating And Pulsating?
hello, I hope you may help with my problem. I'm 28 man, very fit BUT I regularly smoke and drink heavily. For the last couple of years I have noticed that my stomach seems to pulsate. After a night out drinking (usually rum and coke) and smoking heavily I notice the next day (s) I suffer from extremem bloating, strong stomach pulsating which in turn keeps me up at night. I realise the obvious advice would be to stop drinking/smoking but I wonder if my heavy nights are simply flaring up an underlying condition which I already have, the pulsating sensation for example never goes. Any thoughts?

Hello,
The symptoms are due to underlying gastritis or duodenitis with or without an ulcer. In our clinic apart from quitting the most loved items, we recommend
- Diagnostic upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy.
- Dietary measures.
- Lifestyle modifications.
- Proton pump inhibitors and antacid syrup.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
