I have problem with stomach discomfort, when I press my upper belly with my fingers I felt that discomfort and nausea more. No diarhea. It happens now from last Wednesday and It had happened in the weekend of July 1 and disappeared after 1 week. I went to doctor to take a breath test for Helycobacter pilory and it came back negative, I have not go to the doctor after the test yet as still waiting for my stool test, what is my problem ?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood the concerns. Pressure on upper belly with fingers causing discomfort and nausea can be due to gastritis. This can be treated with a PPI like Omeprazole and antacid. Go for soft bland diet. Avoid hot and spicy foods. Avoid stress and anxiety, late nights. Small frequent meals. Take rest. This should help you the best. If these measures fail then you need an upper GI Endoscopy to make certain the diagnosis and get treated accordingly. The stool test may help further if at all shows any positive findings. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need further assistance. Chat Doctor.
