I've been experiencing stomach pain for the past two days. The pain is sharp and located in the upper abdomen. It gets worse after eating. What could be the cause, and should I consult a doctor?
Your symptoms may be due to gastritis, acid reflux, or a peptic ulcer. Avoid spicy, fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Try an antacid for relief. If the pain worsens or you notice symptoms like vomiting or black stools, see a doctor promptly.
Thank you for the rapid answer!
This could be due to pitta imbalance, causing acid reflux or gastritis. To soothe it, consume cooling herbs like Amla, Licorice, and avoid spicy, acidic foods. A mild Panchakarma detox under guidance could help reset digestion. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for further evaluation.
