I have been experiencing a burning sensation and pain in my stomach, along with frequent gas. My stomach also feels unusually cold when I touch it externally. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

Burning stomach pain along with gas may occur due to irritation of the stomach lining or excess stomach acid. This can happen in conditions such as gastritis or indigestion. Sometimes, acid reflux can also cause a burning feeling in the upper abdomen. Excess gas and discomfort may be linked to functional bowel conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, which can be triggered by stress or certain foods. The unusual cold sensation when touching the abdomen is usually not a sign of an actual temperature change or illness. It may be due to increased nerve sensitivity or a change in body perception related to stress or anxiety. You should eat small, regular meals and avoid spicy, oily, and very acidic foods. Reduce tea, coffee, and carbonated drinks, and try not to skip meals. You may take over-the-counter antacids to relieve symptoms. If the problem persists or you notice vomiting, blood in your stools, weight loss, or severe pain, please seek medical attention promptly.
