Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ache And Vomiting
I am a 23 year old female and wiegh 150 lbs with no major medical problems. Sunday morning I woke up with severe stomache pains and was vomitting for over 30 minutes. I had shortness of breath also and constantly felt like I was going to pass out. I also had back pain and was constantly burping. I took a nap in the afternoon and felt a little better. That evening when I went to take a bath I noticed that there was discharge comming from my belly button. The next morning I felt about the same and had more discharge in my belly button, but this time there was also blood. I went to the doctor and they did a ct and found nothing and have put me on an antibiotic and Nexium. they think I have an ulcer, but the nexium seems to make the pain worsen. What else could it be?

Hi it might be due to gastritis.
Gastritis is an inflammation of the protective lining of the stomach. Acute gastritis involves sudden, severe inflammation. Chronic gastritis involves long-term inflammation that can last for years if it’s left untreated
Certain conditions and activities may increase your risk for developing gastritis
extreme alcohol consumption
routine use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin
cocaine use
tobacco use
stress
Gatritis can be reduced by antacids and probiotics
foods recommened are
high-fiber foods such as apples, oatmeal, broccoli, carrots, and beans.
low-fat foods such as fish, chicken, and turkey breast.
foods with low acidity, or are more alkaline, like vegetables.
drinks that are not carbonated.
Thank you take care.
