What Do Pressure And Bloating In The Abdomen Indicate?

I have been having this fullness in my stomach and bloating, generally, I feel discomfort from throat to stomach. I delay to eat to help me but a little food still makes me full. It also feels there is something down there in my throat that gives me discomfort. What can I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms indicate that you have PU syndrome (Peptic Ulcer syndrome) which will have to be further investigated for a clear diagnosis. As there is a delayed gastric emptying, you tend to feel full even after eating a small amount.

Let me explain it. Due to scarring post ulcer around your stomach outlet (Gastro duodenal junction) your stomach outlet has been narrowed and it takes longer time for the food to get out from the stomach.

You can start taking Ranitidine tablet and Domperidone twice daily 20 minutes before your breakfast and dinner to make things easier for you. Ranitidine will deal with the acid secretion and Domperidone will hasten gastric emptying. Both are OTC drugs so easily available.

Small and frequent meals will help. You can also visit your primary care physician for further investigations and the course of treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma
