Could The Pain In Left Of The Abdomen Be Due To Gastritis?

I have gastritis and it gives me pains in my left side of my chest but it seems to be occurring quite more often I am trying to drink loads more water than normal but it doesn seem to help my G.P recommended Zomel tablets and said I will have gastritis for life I don t want to be on tablets constant so is there anything I can do to get rid of it or at least keep it at bay as I am fed up with the pains and the constant sick feeling in the back of my throat

Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic
there are many things which can aggravate the gastritis symptoms...Acute symptoms have to be treated with medicines.To prevent further episodes you have to be proper with you food timings.Should take food at regular timings and if possible regular mid-meal snacks.Avoid salty and spicy and oily food.Do not lie down immediately after food.Increase vegetables and fruits in the menu.
Lifestyle modification is important.Smoking can aggravate gastritis.Coffee is also a culprit.
Regular exercise and proper sleep is also required.
Hope I helped you..
