I think no doctor will prescribe gaspaz ds for more than 6 weeks. If you have taken by yourself then it’s a warning sign

Investigation 1) CBC 2) Vitamin B12 3) Serum iron 4) Upper GI endoscopy.

Helo swarnali,

Can you please specify some more details, like is there any issue after food in take or some issue with any specific food ? And this evening or after pain aggravates with any movement? And duration of pain ?

As your mother were on antacids (Gaspaz DZ) mean she had Gastric issue. Follow the instructions below instead of antacids

1.no water during or just after the food intake 2.low fat and less spicy diet 3.do exercise ( waking or jogging) improves digestion 4.take dinner at lest 2 hours before bed 5. Include Curd ( yogurt with probiotic) in the diet

Long yam use of antacids leads Bone issue and bone pain so be aware

Kindly do the checkup and revert back CBC LFT Vit D3 Total Calcum & ionized Calcium

With regards

Your mother’s pain under the ribs could be related to gas, muscle tension, or mild digestive issues, especially since it improved with movement and started after stopping Gaspaz-DS. The relief from walking or shoulder pressure suggests it’s less likely heart-related, especially with a normal ECG and blood reports. If the pain continues, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist to check for gas buildup, acidity, or mild spasms in the upper abdomen.

Hello dear Kindly note that it seems to be heart burn due to incomplete closure of cardiac sphincter or pyloric obstruction You can take following medications for relief Tab Omeprazole empty stomach once a day for 5 days Tablet pantop d if required In addition avoid food like potatoes and lady finger In case of no improvement in 1 week consult gastroenterologist Regards

Pain in the upper abdomen that improves with movement or pressure could be associated with digestive issues, possibly linked to her previous use of gaspaz ds. This is a medication often used to manage gas-related symptoms, so stopping it might result in temporary discomfort as the body adjusts. However, gas pain usually doesn’t last long, typically resolving with change in posture or passing gas, and rarely has prolonged effects following discontinuation of a medication. That being said, several potential causes for upper abdominal pain should be considered, including dyspepsia or gastritis, which can cause a similar ache. It’s important to evaluate dietary habits too; certain foods might make symptoms worse, such as fatty foods, caffeine or spicy meals. Encouraging her to note any dietary triggers could be helpful. If the pain continues or worsens, however, more serious conditions need to be considered. While her ECG and blood counts are reassuring, conditions like gallbladder issues or peptic ulcers might require further evaluation. These aren’t detected on those tests and may present similarly. If pain persists or other symptoms appear, like fevers or changes in bowel habits, it’s important to consult with her healthcare provider, who may suggest imaging like an abdominal ultrasound or endoscopy to rule out these conditions. However, in the short term, lifestyle changes could help. Encouraging small, frequent meals and staying upright after eating might make a difference while monitoring symptom patterns. Avoid over-the-counter medications without consulting her doctor. Keep a close eye on symptoms, and seek medical advise if they persist longer than expected.
