A member asked:

Feel like the food is stuck at upper stomach,unbalance &burping. it isn't daily from a week i had a flu so also i feel ear ring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Upper stomach: For treatment, avoid spicy, gassy and greasy foods. Avoid gassy beverages. Take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals to prevent gas build-up. Don't burp, if possible, as this causes you to swallow more air. If dizziness and ringing of ears persists, see your physician or an Otolaryngologist.
