Patient's question:
These last two days, I've eaten well but after a while, I get stomach bloating and pain. It's even worse when I stand. What should I do when I eat well but still get stomach bloating and pain?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, the possibility of gastritis and gastric ulcer is relatively high. The typical symptom is pain after meals. For your situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, including an endoscopy, to diagnose whether there is a gastric ulcer. After diagnosis, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered. This often involves inhibiting gastric acid secretion with medications such as omeprazole, while also taking clarithromycin and metronidazole for better results. In fact, having gastritis is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
