This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My upper stomach area is pulsing suddenly from yesterday after eating. What does that mean?

Answered by Dr. Ajeet Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I want to know when did you last have Albuterol. It is is used in asthma for air pipe spasm. It has common side effects such as tachycardia (increased heart rate more than 90 minutes when the person is at rest) where people feel there heartbeat. I also notice your heart rate is 90, which seems to be secondary to Albuterol.

Pounding of stomach however, is an unusual phenomenon, but can occur due to certain drugs and sometimes without any cause. The condition is called tachygastria. You can simply decrease the dose of Albuterol to see if it works in your case.

I hope this helps.

The Probable causes

Tachycardia.

Differential diagnosis

GI motility disorder.

Probable diagnosis

Drug side effects and tachycardia.

Treatment plan

Reduce the dose of Albuterol.
