Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have acidic belching/ abdominal discomfort/ excessive flatulence/ gargling sound in abdomen/
abdominal bloating after taking meals?
With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of
peptic ulcer disease causing damage in
esophagus (food pipe).
Reflux of acid in reverse direction due to decreased gastrointestinal motility may cause these symptoms.
Reflux of acid in severe cases, may also cause irritation in throat with persistent cough.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for
ultrasound imaging, endoscopy and serum amylase and lipase, thyroid profile, blood sugar level, and serum calcium.
You should also go for urea breathe test for H. Pylori.
If Urea breathe test is found to be positive then you have to take complete eradication therapy for H. Pylori bacteria.
Meanwhile, you should take
proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics for relief of your symptoms.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
