Hi all, since 4-5 days I am having mild discomfort in stomach and since 2-3 days i am able to feel slight pain in the left back muscles (above the waist ie at the back of the left belly). Also associated are burps, smelly gas and heaviness in tummy. Please advise what would be the condition and do I need to worry??

It is likely that you have gastritis. You would require antacids. These following steps may help: - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better. - Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food - Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day - Exercise regularly (minimum 30-45 mins everyday) - Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters - Avoid/Stop smoking and drinking if you have the habit - Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation. If the pain persists or worsens visit the nearest ER.
