I get upper stomach pain.. sharp. Some sweating shaking, difficulty breathing too.. always unconfortable after i eat even healthy meals. Thanks.. Krista
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your stomach pain is mostly due to h.pylori induced chronic gastritis and HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). But sweating, shaking etc. can be due to gall stones. Breathing difficulty is seen in uncontrolled HERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Along with h.pylori Chat Doctor.  1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start Proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. 7. Lose weight if you are obese. 8. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. 9. Operation for gall stone is necessary if symptoms are recurrent. So consult your doctor and discuss all these.
