acidity / gas

[sunny883]

well, its been more than a month now, i feel like having gas in my stomach, i am eating good and drinking lots of water, but stools are not proper , the amount of stool passing has decreased and i feel vibration in my stomach and chest , i cough a lot after having a meal , can it be due to anxiety ? how can i clean my stomach fully ??

I would recommend you try eliminating 100% of all lactose from your diet for 2 weeks to see if that helps.

ok , as i told you i still have trouble , my diet is same, there is nothing i dont like to eat , moreover i'm veggie and dont drink, have trouble regarding the gas, feels like my stomach is full of it .. but cant release it out..

Okay, I see that it is mainly an anti-psychotic but it can also be used to treat dyspepsia.

ZENPRIDE is for  Dyspepsia; Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; Irritable bowel syndrome...

Those medications aren't used where I am from, so I don't know much about them and there isn't that much information available on the internet about it.  Ornoxin seems to be a anti-fungal and antibiotic medication.  It seems like your doctor is trying to treat you without knowing what is going on.  Also why are you on the Zenpride?

He told me that your stomach is upset , take a 5 days course of these medicines , if there is no relief then following test would be conducted :
STOOL ROUTINE, SGPT , RBS , TSH , and ENDOSCOPY ...

medicine was ORNOXIN = ORNIDAZOLE+OFLOXACIN

Do you mean Oroxine (which is levothyroxine, which is used to treat hypothyroidism)?  Zenpride is levosulpiride which is an anti-psychotic medication.  Do you know why your doctor prescribed these 2 medications?

still feels like that there is lots of gas inside me , but some how i am unable to release it...

[sunny883]

i was on ORNOXIN TAB and ZENPRIDE 25 MG for 5 days

I meant have you tried any changes to your diet (like avoiding lactose) to see if it helps.  Have you tried eating more fiber?  What medications did you try?

[sunny883]

diet is still the same , no change in diet. well its like i've shifted to hometown , so there is change in lifestyle and people around me , and as my student life ended , I'm working now a days ..which involves lots of sitting .. few days ago i had symptoms for Panic attack, my heart was racing , little coughing, nausea and as i went up , moved out of house i was normal , completely normal .. what i feel is m surfing from anxiety as lots of things have changed lately.  i went to a doctor about my stomach issue, he prescribed few medicines and during the course i was normal but then after the course there is improvement for about 50% overall. and then i went again he asked me for few test .. but wht i think is that it is just anxiety ... dont know if i'm right or wrong ..

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend seeing your doctor about this.  Have you tried changing your diet?  Have you tried eating more fiber?
