　　 Pain or heartburn is a symptom of
dyspepsia. Heartburn is an uncomfortable
state in the area between the lower part of
the sternum and the navel. Pain can occur
when before eating, when eating, or even
after eating. In addition to illness, pain in
the gut can also be caused by lifestyle and
types of drugs consumed.
Heartburn caused by disease. Some
diseases can cause heartburn, including:
1. Gastric ulcer
2. Gastric acid reflux / GERD
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
4. Pancreatitis or cholecystitis
5. Coronary heart disease
Heartburn caused by drugs
1. Pain medication
　　 Pain medications such as mefenamic acid,
aspirin, meloxicam, piroxicam, or ibuprofen can
have an effect on heartburn caused by the
action of drugs related to the work of the
stomach.
2. Antibiotics
　　 Some antibiotics can cause heartburn in some
people. This happens usually because each
person's sensitivity to an antibiotic is different.
Heartburn due to lifestyle
1. Diet
　　 Consumption of alcohol, caffeinated beverages such as
coffee, and soft drinks can trigger stomach acid
production which can cause heartburn. Eating too fast,
too much, spicy, fatty, and acidic can also cause
heartburn.
2. Smoking
　　 Smoking can cause heartburn. A study in Arabic found a
significant relationship between smoking and dyspepsia.
3. Stress
　　 Stress triggers the body to produce certain hormones
which ultimately makes an increase in stomach acid
production. Increased stomach acid will trigger
heartburn. If prolonged stress can cause injury to the
stomach.
Tips for Overcoming Pain in the pit of the stomach
If it is not severe and only occurs once or twice, the
pain in the solar plexus can be overcome easily
and can be done at home, such as:

1. Taking antacids may help neutralize stomach


acid, while reducing pain. You can consume it 60
minutes after eating and before bed as much as
1-2 tablespoons or one tablet. It is recommended
to take liquid antacid drugs rather than tablets.
2. When experiencing pain in the gut, try to
consume light foods, as well as healthy foods
such as fruits and vegetables. Avoid consuming
alcoholic drinks, caffeine, and foods that can
irritate the stomach.
3. Avoid the habit of taking drugs such as
aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDS), and herbs or herbal
supplements before consulting a doctor.
4. Adjust your diet to be more organized.
Get used to eating small portions but more
often to prevent an increase in excess
stomach acid.
