Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating While On Omeprazole

I have developed a bloating of my stomach and a pain across the top of my stomach just under my rib cage. I have a small amount of pain when I try to take a deep breath. I am a type 2 diabetic and have a high blood pressure issue that has been under control by using Metoprolol, Norvasc, and Losartin. I take one Omeprazole in the morning and 1 Ranitidine just before bedtime. I have had a problem with diverticulitus in the past, but was treated with antibiotics no surgery done. I am contemplating going in to the local medical clinic in the morning if the pain doesn t go away. What are your thoughts please? Thank YOU!

Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.

As per your description bloating is sue to hyperacidity. For that no need to take both omeprazole and ranitidine. If issue of bloating is more in early morning you can take omeprazole either 1 hour before or 2 hour after dinner.
Avoid oily and spicy food which are responsible for hyperacidity.

Regards
Dr. Hiren
