Hi,
I’ve been having upper abdominal discomfort since the last two months and it’s very uncomfortable.
It all started randomly one night. I started feeling very nauseous after having dinner and it’s been happening ever since.
It gets better for a few days and then it’s back again.
My GP diagnosed me with acid reflux.
I do get occasional heartburn which lasts for some time. I’m having pantoprazole everyday as advised by my gp and while that helps with the heartburn and nausea but the upper abdominal discomfort doesn’t get better.
I’ve been burping a lot too.
This leads me to having a lot of stress and anxiety which in turn, makes my symptoms worse.
How can I manage these symptoms?
Also, how long can it take to get better?
Thanks!
I have heard it can take up to six months to get better. Do you take your PPI first thing in the morning half hour before eating? That is best. Reduce unhealthy food and give it a bit more time; there could be a lot of inflammation to heal. Take care.
Hi,
I’m taking my PPI in the morning everyday.
The symptoms can be disheartening at times tbh.
I’m just gonna wait it out and keep taking my medications.
Thank you so much xx
