uploaded HbA1C report.The urge to urinate increasing whenever I eat something or drink even water otherwise its very less. Also, when I release gas or after I urinate, I do not feel the heaviness of bladder and its like there was not any issue at all. Please advise which specialist I should consult.Taking Nexium (anti acid drug) from last 3 days and stopped drinking coffee. I am experiencing less stomach bloating and burning.

Brief Answer:
HbA1C is in normal range.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for providing more information.
Your HbA1C report is within normal range. This indicate that your sugar levels are not in diabetic range.
The symptoms you have mentioned are indicative of excess gas formation. In addition to Nexium that you are taking, I would suggest that you should also take Domperidone 30 mg and a probiotic preparation for relief. A digestive enzyme preparation after meals will have added benefits.
Following precautions can be helpful:-
1. Avoid excess of gas producing foods like peas, legumes, etc.
2. Avoid excessive tea/coffee.
3. Avoid talking while eating.
4. Do not skip meals.
5. Eat foods prepared under hygienic conditions.
If the symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Gastroenterologist.
I hope this answers your query.
Regards. Thanks.
