Brief answer....it appears to be gastritis
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your problem.
It appears that you have developed gastritis which is an inflammation of inner lining of stomach. Reasons for gastritis generally are alcohol,spicy foods,smoking etc.
I would advise you to start taking a proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg once a day and to be taken on empty stomach in the morning.
Take it for 7-10 days and you would be completely all right.
If you know that outside and spicy foods trigger your stomach symptoms,then you should avoid them.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
Forget about cancer and stop thinking about it unnecessarily. There is no point keeping a regular fear of anything in your mind.
Your habit of eating late lunch and that too spicy and then going to sleep is the root cause for your repeated gastric problems.
Take your lunch at normal time and let it be light and non spicy.
Don't lie down immediately after good.
Give a gap of at least half hour.

Answered by Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta (16 minutes later)
Hello,
Gastritis can cause such a pain.
It is good that you have taken BUSCOPAN.
In case you don't get relief in next 30-45 minutes,then go to ER and get injectables.
Injections would make you all right quickly.

Hello,
I don't know how to make you mentally comfortable.
I think best would be to consult a gastroenterologist and seek his opinion.
You can even ask him to do the endoscopy which can clearly see the stomach from inside.
A normal endoscopy would bring total peace to you.
Less appetite is due to gastritis along with severe anxiety.

Hello,
Anxiety and gastritis can cause all such type of symptoms.
If you want to come out of it,then you will have to be bold.
An endoscopy would be the best way to relieve of your apprehension.

Realy thanks for reply so many times. Will gas in stomac make low appetite. I took soda with lemon 4 days back and will it crate gas inside stomac. I not bold enough to go for endo. Let me try lactobtonight .
doctor
Answered by Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta (42 minutes later)
Hello,
Gastritis,acidity and gas does result in low appetite.
Taking soda and lemon 4 days back is not the reason for your troubles.
Yes you can take lactobacillus.
Carry on with PANTOPROZOLE and see the response in next few days.

Hello Dear,

Please try to understand what I am repeatedly saying, that it is not cancer. However your anxiety and ultimate truth can be ascertained only by an endoscopy by a gastroenterologist.

If you want to get rid of this fear of cancer, then endoscopy is the best.
It would immediately alleviate all your apprehensions.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta (3 hours later)
Hello,
Very frankly speaking there are no particular symptoms of cancer. In fact symptoms of cancer in early stages are so mild and routine that it is most of the times detected late.
Very frankly speaking there is no way to convince you regarding the presence or absence of cancer. As I said earlier,and I repeat again,please get the endoscopy done so that issue is cleared for once and all.
Only endoscopy can clear the issue and nothing else.

I took ct abdomen in 2014 and it will show clear idea of abdomen equal to endoscopy na. Will there b any missing chances in ct. even starting stage might have been identified in it na .
doctor
Answered by Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta (2 hours later)
Hello,
CT abdomen would also tell about the status of abdomen,however it was done 2 years back.Early cancerous  changes inside stomach can be noticed only by endoscopy.
