Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Gastritis

default
Posted on Mon, 9 Feb 2015
Question: After eating fried foods, burgers, pizza, etc., I start to get chest pains on my left side, not a heartburn like feeling. And last night, after eating dinner, I went out to a bar w/ friends and in addition to chest pains, my heart rate started racing, it became harder to breathe, and I kept having to walk outside to gather myself, though it didn't really help, it was more for peace of mind...I've also started to develop a small rash on my left arm that is sticky, and don't know if they're related. I'm currently w/o insurance until Feb. 1st b/c I just started a new job so I'm trying to avoid going to doctor/hospital until then...

Brief Answer:
could be simple gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, greetings from HCM. I understand your concern.

Based on your history, it looks like gastritis. For my patients with similar complaints, I prescribe Rabiprazole with domperidone. Morning half an hour before your breakfast daily. In addition syrup . mucaine gel 3/4 spoon s after food three times a day. You may get these prescribed by your doctor as well.

You need to avoid fried food , spicy/ oily food .... Take more of green leafy vegetables, fruits and see for a week .. No smoking or alcohol.

If symptoms get worse or if you get chest pain while doing walk or any work / exercise with difficulty in breathing, you better get an ECG, echocardiogram, treadmill test done.

Check your glucose and Blood pressure .. Just to rule out lifestyle disorder .. You will be alright ..

Do feel free to ask more questions ... or else rate the answer and close ..THANK YOU
