Hello Doctor, I have been suffering from stomach ulcer for the past 2 years. Till now the ulcer was not severe, but since few days I have been having stomach pain everytime after having food.
Hi. At the age of 24 year it is unlikely that you have ulcer in the stomach. It could be GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) that is causing all these symptoms, but after long time it may cause ulcer. If you are not responding to PPIs (Proton-Pump Inhibitors) then it could be H.Pylori infection that is causing the problem. The investigations you have mentioned are not having much abnormalities except mild anaemia. The management of GERD symptoms include medicines as well as dietary modifications and exercise with position maneuvers. Usually we do not do investigations, but if it is not responding to medicines then it is needed. Advice: You have anaemia, so please take iron and folic acid (100mg iron combination) once daily. These disorders have great relation to behaviour and mood changes, so please alleviate any tension. Get Thyroid Function Test (TFT) and fasting glucose level done. Do not quit your job instead work with more energy and enthusiasm. I have provided the treatment plan with medicines and other measures for 15 days.
