Morning Abdominal Pain & Bloating: Causes & When to Worry


Question
I have been having gastric pains every morning for the past week or so but i didn't skip dinner or anything as such. The pain felt like a sharp burning at the upper abdominal region (epigastric region) and it lasts like an hour or so. I am still able to carry on with my normal activities though. Also, I have been having the bloated feeling especially after i eat. I have lost weight, though not rapid. (about 2 kg in 6 months)
Is this something i should be concerned about?

Answer
You didn't give me any other info about family history, your age, whether eating helps or hurts, etc.

I would try one of the acid suppressors like Zantac 150 mg twice a day for  while.  If you drink, hold off for a couple weeks, keep meals light at night, then if it keeps up, you better get it evaluated.....
