What Could Cause Sudden Onset Of Chills, Abdominal Pain And Nausea?

about an hr ago i ate some of my homemade chili i made today. the ingredients were fresh; extra veggies, ground turkey, little salt, and salsa added for a little heat instead of individual spices. all of a sudden, now i am feeling upper abdominal pain, tightness across my forehead and behind my eyes, chills, and nausea. i've not experienced similar symptoms with any of these ingredients before. i took an omeprazole, lied down for an hr and feel alot better. i didn't expect this reaction to chili or i would have taken the omeprazole before i ate. i don't take this med all the time as i haven't had a stomach issue for months, even when eating salsa or spices. why are symptoms triggered now? i haven't had flu symptoms. if it persists i'll see my dr, of course. any ideas?

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

With your history, I feel that you got a severe gastritis in response to the intake of chilli which is now relieved with the omeprazole. I would advise you to continue the omeprazole atleast for six weeks and avoid taking chilli or any fried food. Go for a bland diet till you are comfortable symptomatically. If the pain increases, or any other discomfort increases, I would advise you to see your family physician.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
