Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn and abdominal pain

heartburn

Avatar m tn At random points through out the day the sharp pain comes on and off on my left side of chest right near my rib cage and also on and off the same pain in between my belly button and sternum. I do suffer from chronic heartburn and indigestion. Any idea what this could be?
Avatar f tn functional dyspepsia, which is defined as chronic upper, centered abdominal discomfort or pain excluding the predominant symptom, heartburn. Associated symptoms are early satiety, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, bloating, and anorexia. Of course, there could be a number of other issues related to "IBS" which cannot be addressed by medications, but I don't know a lot about that so, I couldn't tell you.
Avatar f tn My sister in law has 4 moth old boy girl twins. She actually had same abdominal pain and heartburn and her tummy was sore and had horible time trying to sleep, she made an apt and found out at 12 weeks she was expecting twins!
Avatar f tn To my surprise I was having this pain last evening before the heartburn started. I took a dose of mylanta and the pain went away. So my question is....can h pylori cause heartburn and can this pain in my back be possibly related to my stomach. I had a gallbladder ultrasound, abdominal ct scan, extensive blood work and also an ekg. I'm afraid that I may have stomach cancer. Please help if you can. I'm desperately trying for get better.
Avatar f tn My 20 year old daughter has experienced abdominal pain off and on for the last 5 years. She has been treated for GERD, IBS, Ulcers and stress. She has had gall bladder ultra sounds, an endoscopy, an upper GI with a small bowel follow through and most recently a gall bladder ejection fraction test. All tests have been normal, but the episodes continue to become more frequent, more intense and longer lasting. She worries constantly about when and where these episodes will occur.
4113881 tn?1415850276 Gastro ruled out acic reflux, ulcers, etc. I had the upper and lower scopes with pill cam swallow. It wasnt until those tests came back normal that the gastro said, "well, sometimes Hep C causes non-specific abdominal pain" The abdominal pain is constant and sometimes accompanied with nausea. Thanks for the feedback.
Avatar f tn Last week I had sex with my boyfriend and after I had sever sharp pain in my lower abdomen. My last period was June 11 and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on June 19. I have been having breast tenderness, slight cramping, heartburn, and slight nausea. My next period is due on July 7. What are the chances of pregnancy? If the chances are high, when should I take a home pregnancy test?
Avatar f tn Oh, and I do not have any gas, belching, vomiting, heartburn/ acids, or diarrhea like many other people who have posted asking about upper abdominal pain. It is simply pain which I can only compare to pain I experienced when I injured my sternum 2 years ago.
Avatar f tn Im 32w and having intense pain in between my ribs.. like right in my solar plex area. I cant sleep on my back or it gets worse and because of this awesome heartburn I have to sit up. Im seriously having a breakdown from this. I havent slept in a week.. im so exhausted. I think its safe to say im only having 1 kid :/ anyone experience anything like this??
Avatar f tn Another up my daughters pathologist report came back normal. The GI specialist has now suggest that she has functional abdominal pain and he wants her to try Periactin 3 times a day to see if that helps. This is frustrating and i don't agree with functional abdominal pain. Any other suggestions!!
Avatar n tn ll have good days with no pain, days with awful heartburn, pain at my gall bladder and kidneys and lower abdominal pain as well. My white cell counts appear normal so they don't think it's an infection but I will mention it. I keep hoping there is something that will explain all of my symptoms and will make sense of the hyperactive gall bladder and liver lesion. I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thank you for the suggestion.
Avatar f tn After two months of mononucleosis, I got symptoms suggestive of indigestion (after heavy meals, pain moving around my stomach). I noticed increased burping throughout the previous month. I did an abdominal ultrasound - nothing out of the ordinary. After 10 days of stomach pain/gas/bloating/burping despite a GERD-compliant diet, my GP prescribed PPIs (once daily) and enzymes.
Avatar n tn Your symptoms of heartburn, abdominal pain, chest discomfort could all be attributed to GERD, (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach come up into the esophagus. For this you could try lifestyle measures. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed. Keep a food diary and note down what aggravates your symptoms and avoid them. Ensure to maintain optimum weight by regular exercise.
Avatar f tn Brief mention of heartburn / acid reflux, none of GERD. I'm thinking of trying out a naturopath. Was told they use a blood test that can identify food sensitivities and other allergens that may irritate the system. Have never been but am willing to give it a shot. Am also pretty turned off by the appointment with the gastroenterologist..

Avatar n tn in my bowels) Doc thought maybe a partial small bowel obstructions but xray showed no air fluid levels. Five days later, belly was again distended, also heartburn, belching (foul smell) low back pain and difficulty urinating (feel like I have to force it out). Tried an enema, symptoms got worse so went to ER. Dr.
Avatar f tn I had horrible heartburn in my last pregnancy, I would literally choke on pure acid (very gross, I know!) But after I delivered..I had sudden abdominal pain. I ended up having severe gallbladder stones and had my gallbladder removed the next day. But I had heartburn in all my pregnancies even this current pregnancy (without my gallbladder), so it's common and will ease up eventually after giving birth.
6207205 tn?1389773318 1 week ago i started taking sexium 40 mg and ganaton 50 for acid reflux , i started having abdominal pain and headache , please can anyone help me regarding this issue ? is it a side effect or what ?
535822 tn?1443976780 And acid blockers can cause many, many other side effects including abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea (probably because of the disruption of your gut bacterial balance). They can also cause confusion, drowsiness, flushing, headache, dry mouth, and nausea. Try marshmallow root. And no, not the corn-syrup-laden marshmallows you find in the cake section of your grocery store. I mean real marshmallow root, from the actual marshmallow plant.
Avatar f tn ve been sporadic for the most part with heartburn, muscle spasms, and abdominal inflammation lasting the longest. Abdominal pain has stopped and all the pain is now centered around the chest area.
