Gastric Attack

I have never been struck by gastric problems but last week it happened....with scary effects.One evening after getting home from work the tummy felt uncomfortable .Thinking nothing of it I had my normal dinner but somehow the food could not go in and it felt like something was blocking the stomach. Normally I would not tell anybody about things like that but as the night went on the whole stomach area felt sore so I mentioned this to mum and she insisted I see a doctor immediately.This stupid doctor just listened to what I told him and said " You have gastric problem ".I then said " Dont you even want to press my stomach here and there?". The joker smiled and said " Yaa I think I should " .He did that as though just to satisfy me and then said happily " Yes , its gastric". He prescribed some medicine which I took as soon as we reached home.Within minutes I threw up like I have never done before for years and after that felt better. It was a strange kind of attack, the body was sore and tender to the touch and I did not feel like eating at all.I never realized gastric could be that uncomfortable.With no appetite and energy naturally all that was left was to sleep and sleep.I stayed away from work for a few days and did nothing but sleep.Light meals consisting of oats, porridge,noodles were my diet but each time I could only take a small portion.The amount slowing increased until after the third day I went on to a little bit more of everything. Being sick makes you realize how important it is to be healthy and the next couple of weeks before CNY I will have to work hard to regain my health and energy.
