Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing a heaviness, a sense of having a rock in my upper abdomin recently. It is not constant but becoming more frequent. I do not have bloody stool or vomiting. This does not match what I read to be symptoms of an ulcers as there is not actually pain just a lot of discomfort. It does seem to be helped some temporarily by anti-acids but then it returns. Can you give me some guidance please.
