What Causes Belching, Loss Of Appetite And Stomach Pain?

I have been having constant belching, loss of appetite, right sided stomach pain, dehydration, constant heart palpitations, steady weight loss, and constant heat flashes for 11 days straight. I had went to the ER twice and had Urine Test, Chest X-Ray, EKG, CBC and Differential, CT ABD and Pelvis W Contrast, Comprehensive metabolic panel, and Lipase Blood test done. All came out good. The general doctors think it is a stomach virus except I am not vomiting, no fever, no diariahia, nausea on very rare occasions, and no fatigue.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Belching is way of body to expel out air from stomach whether it is due to excess swallowed air or produced because of food digestion or acid reflux or gastritis etc.

You may need some blood works,urinalysis and abdominal ultrasound.(already done which came normal)

Eat high protein and easily digestive food rather than carbohydrates or fatty foods.

Drink much of water will reduce belching.

Consult gastroenterologist if there is any underlying stomach problems like hiatus hernia,reflux esophagitis, gastritis, gastric ulcer.

Regards,
