Detailed Answer:
thank you for sending the question.

I think it is important to review the entire medical history and specifically look at the list of medications which he might be taking. Medications can potentially have side effects and interactions which may contribute to some of the symptoms you have reported.

Abdominal pain is a very difficult type of complaint in the sense that it can be challenging to determine the real cause. one consideration is acid reflux or possibly a stomach ulcer. This is something which might respond to some medication including acid blocking drugs which are sold over-the-counter.

I think it is very important that his doctor take a look at his symptoms and review his medications in detail to determine an appropriate next step which might include medication or possibly some testing.
