Stomach Pain, Nausea & DiarrhoeaÂ
Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea can be caused by a wide range of conditions from viral stomach bugs to food poisoning, gastritis, dehydration, or chronic digestive issues.Â
These symptoms can become serious if not treated promptly.
At EveryMed, our experienced GPs diagnose and treat both acute and ongoing digestive problems.Â
Whether your symptoms started suddenly or have been building up over time, our stomach pain clinic provides the care you need to feel better quickly.
Understanding Digestive Symptoms
Digestive symptoms occur when your stomach, intestines, or supporting organs become irritated or inflamed.Â
Causes can be short-term (like a viral illness) or related to chronic conditions such as gastritis or IBS.
At EveryMed, we assess the full picture to find the root cause not just the symptoms.

- Abdominal or stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea (loose or frequent stools)
- Bloating or gas
- Indigestion or acid reflux
- Loss of appetite
- Cramping
- Fever with digestive symptoms
- Dehydration signs (dry mouth, dizziness, weakness)
If symptoms become severe or prolonged, the cause may require medical treatment.
Possible Causes
Digestive symptoms can be triggered by:
Acute Causes
- Viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
- Food poisoning
- Bacterial infections
- Parasites
- Reaction to food or medication

A proper diagnosis helps us create the right treatment plan and prevent symptoms from returning.
How We Diagnose Stomach Pain & Digestive Issues
At our stomach pain clinic, your GP may assess:
- Location and type of stomach pain
- Onset and duration of symptoms
- Recent meals or travel history
- Fever or dehydration
- Medication usage
- Possible exposure to contaminated food or water
When needed, we may also perform:
- Blood tests
- Stool tests for bacterial or viral infections
- Urine test
- Pregnancy test (where relevant)
- H. pylori testing (for suspected gastritis or ulcers)
- Abdominal ultrasound (if required)
This helps us identify whether you need diarrhoea treatment, anti-nausea medication, or further investigation.
Treatment Options
Your treatment plan will depend on the cause and severity of your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a headache and a migraine?
A headache is usually a mild to moderate pain that can affect any part of the head. Migraines are more severe, often throbbing, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.
2. What are the common triggers for migraines?
Triggers can include stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, dehydration, lack of sleep, bright lights, strong smells, or changes in weather. Identifying triggers helps in prevention and management.
3. When should I see a doctor for headaches or migraines?
Seek medical care if headaches are severe, sudden, frequent, or accompanied by vision changes, weakness, numbness, speech difficulty, or confusion. Chronic or worsening migraines should also be evaluated.
4. How does EveryMed treat headaches and migraines?
Treatment may include pain relief medication, anti-migraine medications, lifestyle advice, hydration guidance, stress management, and recommendations for preventive care to reduce frequency and severity.
5. Can migraines be prevented?
Yes. Preventive measures include identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, staying hydrated, managing stress, and taking preventive medications if prescribed by a doctor.
6. Are over-the-counter painkillers safe for headaches and migraines?
Occasional use is generally safe, but frequent use can lead to rebound headaches or other side effects. Our doctors can advise on safe medication use and alternatives if headaches are frequent.
7. Can headaches indicate a serious condition?
While most headaches are harmless, sudden severe headaches, headaches after a head injury, or those accompanied by neurological symptoms may indicate a serious condition and require immediate medical evaluation.
8. How can lifestyle changes help with migraine management?
Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, stress reduction techniques, and avoiding known triggers can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

EXCELLENT Based on 86 reviews Posted on oyisile njisaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Every Smile Dentistry for the first time today and I am pleased with the service I received. The receptions was very warm and welcoming. I was attended to by Dr A Somtunzi who was also so friendly and welcoming. I had my teeth cleaned and a filling done. She gave a detailed explanation of what needed to be done. She was so gentle and I felt no discomfort at all. I’m happy with the work she did. Outside the excellent service, I think the thoughtful gesture of having ladies essentials in the rest room for everyone to use won my heartPosted on lenyora magocobaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
