Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this pain in abdomen and weight gain, these includes.
1 The first possibility is of peptic ulcer disease or hiatus hernia. The diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy.Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks.It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or sweets, or greasy or spicy foods. Also take some antacid but if symptoms are severe then you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors.
2 Tension is the main cause of stomach pain , so try to get rid off this.
3 High fatty diet with high carbohydrates are the main reason of weight gain. Vigorous exercise will reduce weight beside blend diet.
Deal according to above mentioned reasons. Good luck. Dr. HET
