Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

Over the past year, I've been experiencing recurring abdominal pain and nausea. Occasionally, this is followed by vomiting. I’ve tried over-the-counter medications, but they don't seem to help much. Can you help me understand what might be causing this, and what steps I should take next?
