Im 46 years old and have been experiencing severe pain above the belly with hardness. Other symptoms include: nausea, vomitting, some bowel movement , and faintlike, for one night only. Second day on I am left only with continous sharp pain and constipation. What can be causing this and what are some cures? Thank you.
Hi, That can due to gastritis. You need to take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole, preferably with an antiemetic combination, for two days and see the response. If there is improvement, then continue it for a month. If no improvement is there then show to a physician for a physical examination and an ultrasound abdomen, if he feels necessary, to help reach a diagnosis. Regards
