What Causes Stomach Upset When Under Stress?

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

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be gastritis. It is an inflammation of the stomach lining. I suggest using antacids such as Maloox three times a day.

I also recommend using PPI medication such as Omeprazole in the morning before breakfast. I recommend stress management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
