Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I have read your query and understand the concerns.
From the facts you have shared here,I would like to say that symptoms of bloating of stomach,nausea,dizziness and right side rib cage pain are likely because of acute gastritis with indigestion,the first possibility I would think in your case.
At present, I would suggest you to try some symptomatic over the counter medications with STRICT dietary precautions to get some relief.
1) Take over the counter antacids tablets (like Tab.Pantoprazole 40mg in combination with domperidone: Brand name Pan-D) with Tab.Gas-X twice daily to get relief from the symptoms of gas trouble or bloating and nausea.
Your rib pain is likely related to this gas trouble but if it is more and troublesome then you can take over the counter pain killer like Aleve or Ibuprofen along with antacids.
2) Take syrup Digene 2 TSF three times a day, will also be helpful.
3) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods and prefer HOME food. Take soft diet only for initial few days.
4) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time.Take small meals frequently.
5) Avoid complex carbohydrates like beans, potato and carbonated beverages and milk based products which are hard to digest.
6) Drink plenty of water and fruit juices if you are non-diabetic. If dizziness is troubling you,take tab.Stugeron (Cinnarizine 25mg) on as and when required basis.
7) Digestive enzymes (like Unienzyme once daily which is available over the counter) will also be helpful in the digestion of carbohydrates and minimize the gas production.
8) Avoid talking which eating, as doing so may also cause further gas formation inside stomach.
With above symptomatic treatment and dietary precautions,we would expect to see some improvement within 2 or 3 days.
But in case if problem persists longer or even after above precautions, then it would be advisable to see physician for further evaluation..
Hope this detailed explanation will be helpful.
