Hello, Im 16 years old. For the past 2 and a half weeks ive had mild abdominal pains, ive been feeling light headed for the past 4 days. Im really worried, it is hard for me to concentrate on my gcses with this in my head and my parents say im just being a hypocondriac. Please help. Thank you.
Hello and Welcome appreciate your concern. I would empirically recommend a two-week course of PPI such as Pantoprazole and a pro kineticlike topside to see for improvement, If your symptoms persist please fix an appointment with your doctor so that a physical exam is performed after a complete history and the necessary investigations are done to look for any other cause. I would also recommend a psychiatric visit to rule out anxiety or depression wishing you best of healthThanks
