I have been nauseous for 3 days straight. I have GERD and I found out i have a swelling somewhere in my stomach. i feel like vomiting but nothing happens. i have a regular bowel movement, and have been eating soups all day. my mom thinks it might be a viral infection, but my stomach area feel somewhat stiff when you push it down. I don't really know what to do.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. On the GERD problem I would advise you for the following:

1) Elevate the head end of the bed with two blocks on each side, so that the regurgitation does not occur while lying down, and the contents of esophagus and stomach flow down with gravity.
2) Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do.
3) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness.
4) Prescription for a prokinetic agent and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief.
5) An ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any other pathology of any intra-abdominal organ.

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. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
