Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had stomach cramps for a few days, and I went to the hospital last night with a lot of pain on the right side of my stomach. Doctor prescribed me pain medicines and sent me on my way. I am still having pain and some heartburn. I hope you may have some ideas of what could be causing this. I have people saying it could be bleeding, colitis or a bleeding ulcer. Please help.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It appears to be acidity and gastritis. This gastritis can lead to ulcers in the stomach and bleeding. The black motion indicates bleeding, but you must rule out food consumption like beet, iron supplements, or dark green vegetables that can sometimes cause it. You should visit a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy, especially if it is not responding. It will help if you avoid fatty, oily, and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking a rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress—lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any. I suggest you to take tablet Pan DSR (Pantoprazole) 40 mg, once daily for two weeks, and also take syrup Sucral-O (Sucralfate) or Gelusil (Aluminium hydroxide) two teaspoons thrice daily for two weeks. For immediate pain relief, you can have an antispasmodic tablet, Dicyclomine up to three times a day, whenever needed. Consult a specialist doctor and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
