What Causes Frequent Burning Sensation In The Abdomen?
Question: Am wondering if occasional chest pressure could be heart burn. At 66 have had cardiac exams and have irregular heart beat, tachycardia and minor mitral valve prolapse. On no heart meds. Recently have had frequent burning sensation in stomach between meals not after. Eating seems to soothe my stomach. Wondering if chest pressure and stomach burning are related or separate issues?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it could be related
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Its likely related to gastritis and reflux disease. Do you get pain at rest only, if yes it's likely due to reflux only. This happens due to excessive acid production and this acid refluxes into the esophagus giving rise to burning in chest.
You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
You could get prescribed tab Pan DSR or Esomiprazole Domperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add Syrup sucral O or Gelusil two teaspoon three times a day for a week.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
Take Care!
