Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of peptic ulcer disease associated with decreased gastrointestinal motility and urinary tract infections.
Presence of reflux, bloating, swelling in stomach favors the diagnosis.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ general surgeon and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar both fasting and postprandial, thyroid profile, serum electrolytes and endoscopy & biopsy.
You should also go for urea breathe test for Helicobacter pylori bacteria.
You should also go for urine culture and sensitivity for exact detection of effective antibiotics.
You should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics and antacids for relief of your symptoms.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
