Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would have advised you for an urgent ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any pathology of the vessels in abdomen. If there is no such pathology, I would refer you to a gastro enterologist for an endoscopic evaluation of the upper GI tract. Till then I would prescribe you for some prokinetic drug, along with a proton pump inhibitor and a probiotic. Further management would depend on the reports of all the investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
