Epigastric Pain
- GERD
- Peptic ulcer disease with or without perforation

- BMP, LFTs
- Lipase
- ?Acute abd series
- ?Barium swallow aka upper GI series
- ?EGD, most will be outpt
- ?RUQ US
- ?ECG and Troponin
Treatment
- Cessation of NSAIDs and Etoh
- Eradicate H. pylori if identified in symptomatic pt
- Triple Therapy: PPI + clarithromycin 500mg BID + amoxicillin1g BID x 10-14d
- Metronidazole 500 mg BID can be substituted for amoxicillin in penicillin-allergic individuals
- Quadruple Therapy: PPI + bismuth subsalicylate 524 mg QID + metronidazole 250 mg QID and tetracycline 500 mg QID x 10-14d.
- Can be used in areas of high resistance to clarithromycin or metronidazole
