How Can Acidity And Stomach Ache Be Treated?

I have ulcer or heartburn pains after I eat if I sit or lie down. Antacids don t seem to have an effect. I also feel hot until the pain subsides in a couple of hours. At times I have food seem to catch going into my stomach and just seems to stick there and it can take several minutes to pass. Sometimes there can be considerable pain or at the very least discomfort when this happens. I don think I have any other symptoms.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern. From you symptom description, you seem to be having a stomach ulcer. So you need to undergo tests in order to determine the presence of H.Pylori, the bug responsible for stomach ulcers and the most frequent cause for this condition. If confirmed, you will be prescribed a course of antibiotics and antiacids. If the presence of this bug is not confirmed, then you will need to undergo further testing to determine the cause of the ulcers.
Undiagnosed and untreated ulcers can lead to dangerous complications, so you need to get tested and treated as soon as possible.

Wishing you all the best.
