What Causes Stomach Discomfort Along With Burping?
Hello, I am a 64 year old female, and I awoke this a.m. to stomach discomfort. Upon rising, I started burping and have continued all day with gas, a headache, mild stomach pain, and just not feeling right . I took one Pepcid, but that didn t help. Early in the afternoon I started getting queasy and felt like throwing up. I dry-heaved about 5-6 times, but nothing came up. I have eaten VERY lightly today - toast, 3 slices of orange, chicken broth, chicken noodle soup, 4 potato chips, milk, coffee, tea, and water. My temperature was 97.7 degrees, is currently 98.3, and I have been unable to have a bowel movement, which I generally have everyday. Please advise. Thank you, Mary Jean Burton

i totally understand your concern about your stomach discumfort.
the following points should be taken into consideration:
1- this seems to be a food poisoning causing only signs of stomach discomfort without causing intestinal manifestations (diarrhea).
2- what you should do is only supportive treatment: keep yourself hydrated, eat light food for yor stomach to be able to digest,
3- take primperan (10 milligrams one tablet orally every 8 hours as needed for nausea)
4- take nexium 40 milligrams one tablet orally once daily in the morning 30 minutes before eating or continue taking pepcid.
5- Do NOT take NSAIDs for your pain ( advil and such)
6- monitor your temperature
you should get well in few days
