Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern pain in the upper abdomen or between the chest and stomach, especially after eating spicy food, is quite common and usually points towards acidity, gastritis, or sometimes acid reflux irritating the food pipe.
Advices
Eat small, frequent meals and avoid long gaps between meals.
Reduce spicy, oily, and heavy foods, especially at night.
Drink enough water, avoid lying down immediately after eating, and maintain a light dinner.
What to Monitor
Whether the pain increases after meals, with coffee, or when lying down.
Any associated bloating, nausea, or burning sensation in the chest.
Management
You may take a short course of a safe antacid syrup such as Digene or Gelusil after meals for a few days.
Avoid self-medicating beyond this, as persistent pain for two months needs further evaluation.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If you have vomiting, blood in vomit, or black stools.
If pain radiates to the chest, jaw, or left arm.
If you feel short of breath or have severe burning despite precautions.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, itâs important to discuss your medical history and symptoms in detail.
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
⢠A personalized treatment plan
⢠Safe medicine adjustments (if required)
⢠Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician
