Need To Constantly Burp, Discomfort Under Sternum. Drinking Ginger Ale. What Should I Do?
For the past 2 days I have this feeling like I constantly need to burp/release build-up of gas. I drink ginger ale to help alleviate that (and burp). I felt somewhat queasy so I forced myself to vomit , thinking this is what my body needed and might help ease the discomfort. I also have a slight discomfort right underneath the sternum (upper stomach?). This has only been for the passed 2 days, why do I feel this discomfort and should I force myself to throw up or is this only exacerbating the problem?
You are having some inflammation in the stomach as well as irritable bowel disease, you may take Nexium tab and Buscopan tab and to keep away from spicy and junk food at the meanwhile.
