Hello Dr.,
Sorry to bother you at this time. My name is Ronald, I really need help understanding the best ways to deal with my inflammation/gastritis problems. I am 26 years old I weigh 145lbs and am 5'7 in height. I used to drink heavy and smoke as well however I quit smoking two years ago and drink only occasionally. I am a coffee drinker but the reason I continue to drink it is because its only sometimes that I feel the inflammation pains. My issue is that I understand I have Gastritis and I know what to eat and what not to eat. My issue is that I had a few drinks almost three days ago and I have not been able to get a good nights rest because of all the gases causing pain in my stomach, chest area, and strangely I feel a numb and tingly feeling on my left arm. I take my own pulse and I am fine but its very uncomfortable and scary. Do you have any advice to help calm the gases? I feel it gets worst when I take deeper breaths and when I burp I get a moment relief but it comes back just as fast. I hope you might be able to help me figure something out. I don't have medical or money to see a doctor so I am turning to my only option. Thank you in advance doctor, I will be eagerly but patiently hoping for a response.
