A patient presents the following symptoms-
She feels that there are a lot of gas in her stomach.
& she wants to get rid of it because it is totally uncomfortable.
She has tried taking the herbal por chai pills, and domperidone, but it wasn't of much use.
Previously this week, she has been suffering from nausea and vomitting (no, she is not pregnant) and headache and giddiness.
She had visited a doctor, who prescribed her famotidine and antacid for her stomach pain which she complained earlier, as well as prochlorperazine for her giddiness and vomitting.
She is someone who feels hungry every few hours, but she has since lost the 'hungry' feeling for the past week that she has forgotten the feeling of being hungry.
She is someone who loves to eat, so the possibility of bulimia nervosa is not exactly very high.
So, what else is there to help??
Ps, she's not exactly a compliant patient, who still went to Carousel, an international buffet, for dinner one night ago and likes to munch chocolate chips and biscuits.
