Upper abdominal pain and bloating, acid reflux, belching

Generally, upper abdominal pain, acid reflux, and belching may be caused by factors such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux, or cholecystitis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Gastritis

Consuming large amounts of acidic foods may lead to excessive gastric acidity and acid reflux, resulting in symptoms such as upper abdominal fullness and pain, acid reflux, and belching. It is recommended that patients take medications such as compound lactase capsules or potassium citrate bismuth tablets under medical guidance, along with adjusting their diet.

2. Gastroesophageal Reflux

Increased intragastric pressure, relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, or hiatal hernia may cause gastroesophageal reflux, allowing stomach contents to flow back into the esophagus and produce the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended that patients use medications such as cisapride tablets or enteric-coated esomeprazole magnesium tablets under medical supervision, while maintaining a light diet.

3. Cholecystitis

Bacterial invasion of the gallbladder may trigger inflammation, which irritates the gallbladder and causes bile to reflux from the duodenum into the stomach, leading to symptoms such as upper abdominal pain and acid reflux. It is recommended that patients take medications such as clindamycin hydrochloride tablets or ursodeoxycholic acid tablets under medical guidance, and ensure adequate rest.

In addition to the three causes mentioned above, these symptoms could also result from other conditions such as cirrhosis, pneumonia, or hepatitis. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention to avoid delayed diagnosis and potentially serious complications.
