Glassy & bloated stomach

I am a woman in my late 20s and lately my stomach has been feeling bloated and very gassy. it lasted for more than 4 weeks, it stopped for a while after taking antibiotics and charcoal pills (i dont remember the names) and now its back again . When i lie down, it gets worst. Most of the time it feels like a huge balloon of gas trapped in my stomach and i get nauseous. when the gas trapped in my stomach i feel a bit painful in the upper middle area and low middle area of my stomach. should i see any specialist?

Hello, thank you for your enquiry.

For your information, those symptoms you having, such as bloating, nausea and upper abdomen pain may have several causes. For example:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Esophageal diseases (inflammation, stricture and others)
  • Gastritis
  • Peptic ulcer disease
  • Upper gastrointestinal tract infection

To find out the cause for your symptoms, a more detailed history is needed, as well as a proper clinical examinations and relevant investigations. You are required to refer your problem to a doctor as soon as possible so that further work-up can be done. Then only the final diagnosis can be made and a proper treatment plan can be done for you.
