Acid reflux actually occurs when the stomach acids irritate the esophagus, which leads to symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and bad taste. Some of the means to comfort it involve eating small portions, avoiding the foods that trigger it, and not sleeping immediately after eating. Raising your head during sleep is also a concern. Also, don't forget to reduce stress because it will also contribute to acid reflux.

I am 27 years old I am feeling pain all over my stomach ...not cramps ...but pain like aching ..all round my stomach down to my lower abdomen ..even if I press my stomach I will feel the pain ....am am currently on my period

It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort, which can be common during menstruation. The aching sensation you describe may be due to hormonal changes, increased blood flow, or muscle contractions in your abdomen. I recommend resting, using a heating pad, and staying hydrated to help alleviate discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relief may also be beneficial. However, if the pain intensifies or doesn't improve, please consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

Especially at night after dinner even after an hour or more i cannot lie down as the food seems to come up my throat and i start to feel the pain near my esophagus, what should I do? I also have had medicines i.e. Nexium and Lesuride but it only gives relief for some time and then same issue. Please suggest.

You may be experiencing symptoms related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These conditions can cause discomfort like chest bloating, irritation in the chest area after eating, and difficulty lying down due to regurgitation of food. It's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. They can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly other medications or treatments tailored to your specific condition. Regular follow-ups with your specialist will help in managing and improving your symptoms effectively.

You might be having a dyspepsia, which is a disorder that often affects the upper part of your digestive system. Symptoms may range from bloating, gas, and nausea to abdominal pain and discontent. I suggest you go to a gastroenterologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Testicle pain related to digestion could be caused by referred pain. In this case, discomfort from the abdomen gets felt in the testicles. Inflammation or nerve irritation in the stomach area can lead to this. To help, focus on improving digestion through nutritious eating. Stay hydrated, and limit spicy or greasy items. Regular physical activity promotes better digestion too. However, if the pain persists or worsens, see a gastroenterologist for a proper examination and treatment plan.

I am 18 year old male and i have stomach ache from 2 days and i have taken no medications the pain is more in lower right side of abdomen and my abdomen hurts when breathing and walking basically when moving

Male | 18

The location of the pain in the lower right of your stomach, especially when walking, may be a sign of appendicitis. The swelling of the appendix is called appendicitis. The primary clues may also be loss of appetite, nausea, and fever. A doctor must be sought immediately for a full checkup and proper therapy as appendicitis might be dangerous and can involve surgery as a remedy.
