Hi Doctor,I was diagnosed with Gastritis and a Hiatal Hernia. My problem is that I have severe abdominal pains, as well as these extreme pains on my sides. The pain on my sides feel like the pain you get when you run too much. I also smoke marijuana regularly, as I am unable to drink alcohol. Do you think the Gastritis could be causing these pains on my sides, under my ribcage? Also, do you think the smoking marijuana is affecting the Gastritis negatively?I would really appreciate if you could help me with this, as my doctors just seem to brush me off.Thanks you so much...
Helloyes gastritis can be responsible for these pains marijuana can affect gastritis negatively. Hiatal hernia can be observed n managed conservatively PPI, KINETICS, ANTACIDS SUCRALFATE for a two-week course can be taken in consultation with your doctorthanx
