Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Abdominal Pain And Acid Reflux

I am noticing a sharp pain on my upper left abdomen. I notice it more when I bend over. It s in a small section under my chest. I am overweight. I have had a cold over the past couple days and do have a cough now. And I have noticed that I am feeling acid reflux in my throat, that is something I don t get often. Do you have any ideas as to what this could be? I do not have a fever or any other issues.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe upper abdominal pain and acid reflux which is very common problem which is due to delayed opening of sphincters leading to excessive production of bile. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Avoid taking outside food. Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
