Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Abdominal Pain And Dizziness While Having GERD

I have a medical Hx of DM 2, GERD, and HTN. I was recently dx with duodenitis, gastritis, esophagitis, and hiatal hernia. My GERD is controlled by Prilosec and Zantac. I am concerned because I am experiencing constant nausea, abdominal pain, and dizziness that is not related to my GERD.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

Your problem seems to be caused by Stomach/gut upset, it needs life style modification before any medication , here is what you need to do.

1) Avoid coffee, caffeine, Fizzy drinks , junk food, smoking, alcohol (What ever is relevant).
2) Take small multiple meals instead of few larger ones.
3) Drink much fluids.
4) Use fruits and vegetables more than meat.
5) Use fiber diet like fruits vegetables whole grain bread and fiber supplements if needed.
6) Stay physically active.
7) If you are over weight reduce it.
8) After trying out all these measure you can use syrup gaviscon thrice a day this will keep a check at your gut PH.
9) You can discuss with your doctor about digestive enzymes they too help with digestion and excessive gas.
10) I also recommend similar patients to use Omeprazole 40mg once a day to check stomach acid levels.

I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.
