Pressure And Bloating In Abdomen. Taking Antacid. Normal?

I am feeling a lot of pressure and bloating, I have been taking an antacid and anti-gas but last night I felt a burning sensation in my stomach and wasn't sure if it was from the anti-gas? It went away after a few minutes and hasn't come back since but I was wondering if it's normal with antacids and anti-gas to get that?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

The anti gas /antacids would not have caused the burning sensation in the stomach.

Burning sensation in the stomach is usually due to acidity/ stomach ulcers.

Anyway, glad to know that the burning sensation and other symptoms have disappeared.

Follow a healthy diet. Avoid deep fried/oily/spicy food. Have whole grain cereals, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Certain vegetables like potato, tapioca, beans can cause gas formation and may be avoided if necessary.

Have 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Regular exercise 30 minutes a day 5 days a week might be helpful.

Avoid smoking/alcohol.

Next time if you do develop burning sensation of the stomach, bloating etc,. have a pantoprazole after consulting with your physician.

Hope the information given above was helpful to you.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
