Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.


Do not worry if it is for a day or two .
It might be due to anxiety.
If it stays for > 6 months ,it could be hinting towards Irritable bowel syndrome.

It is difficult to make a pin point diagnosis without actually examining you. You may need an upper GI endoscopy and a colonoscopy to help the diagnosis part.


If it does not go away in a week, I would suggest you to
- Drink loads of water
- Avoid oily,spicy food
- Have a diet rich in fibres
- I would start tablet Pantoprazole and tablet Domperidone.
- I would also start tablet Colospa (Mebeverine).Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage
- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count ,Liver function test , amylase , lipase, urea , creatinine , ESR done

- Get an abdominal ultrasound , an upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy done. This will help in the diagnosis.


I would also suggest you to visit a physician . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
