What Causes Discomfort In The Upper Abdomen After Having Food?
hi ive basically become afraid to eat I feel a very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach just below my heart. if I eat oatmeal and just salad I seem to be ok but anything else I will be up for hours in the night feeling very uncomfortable, can you tell me what is wrong with me?
Most likely peptic ulcer disease, in which like the food enters in the stomach the HCl is released which cause pain. Take less spicy food take omeprazole or pantoprazole 30 min before food and evaluate for the cause of peptic ulcer.
