Posted on Tue, 9 Feb 2016

Question: I woke up with my back burning and extremely painful...mid back to heck. I am nauseous. The pain radiates around to both sides of my chest. I am vomiting what looks like stomach fluids but no food.

Brief Answer:
Gastritis or acid reflux!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed this information fully and it is suggestive of acid reflux or gastritis. Treatment for this is omeprazole. I will advise that you take omeprazole 20mg daily. This should address the problem. Only seek further medical care if this fails to address the pain and other symptoms.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
