I have microcytic hypochromic anemia, bloating, upper abdomen burning (which lessens with PPI). Please suggest tests to be done.

Question

Stomach bloating is caused mainly because of air swallowing known as erophagia.
The other causes are irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, constipation ,celiac disease, sprue,bowel obstruction etc
If you do regular exercises, then it will be useful to alleviate from the symptoms and still if you are having abdominal bloating or distension then you should start some medication like proton pump inhibitors, avoid excess carbohydrates and fatty foods, avoid oily and spicy foods.
You should go to gastroenterologist who will take complete medical history with thoroughly clinical examination and can order investigation like complete hemogram, blood electrolytes, ultrasound of abdomen and upper GI scopy if required.
The definitive treatment will depend upon the underlying cause.
