Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn in overweight people

heartburn

Avatar f tn I am also overweight. I was very worried that I wasn't slim prior to getting pregnant but I am happy and healthy to date. I started at 224 and now at 31 weeks and days I am at 240 and have been that weight for about a month. I have stayed very active (exercise and frequent walks) and changed my diet completely to try and avoid Gestational diabetes and other complications.
Avatar n tn This has helped a little. I still have heartburn almost every day. When I wake up in the morning I usually cannot eat anything because I feel nauseated. I have to force myself to eat by 9/10am. The sensation/noise is my main concern. I cannot find anyone that has this happening. It seems that others describe something similar but they don't have the other symptoms. This sensation/noise now feels like it is hitting the back of my throat (may be why I hear it to the left side).
795866 tn?1272168354 m sixteen years old and i am kinda of overweight but nothing too bad, but onto my question. i had heartburn all night because i had spicy tacos, and as i was sleeping i had pains in the middle of my chest and it felt like pins were sticking me. it didn't really wake me up it just like really really hurt, and i have never had that feeling before when i had heartburn and so i was wondering what does it sound like to you?
Avatar f tn Went to the doc's yesterday and she said i was overweight. Before being pregnant i weighed 112 now im 150 i gained 37 pounds. Im past the average by 15 pounds. She said I will have a hard time during labor because im making a big baby, also I wont be able to have natural birth because baby's to big and will get c section and labor is harder for overweight mothers.
Avatar m tn I would recommend logging down what you are eating/drinking and what activity you are doing when this happens. Lifestyle and eating habits might be playing big role in this. Overweight? Smoker and/or drinker? Caffeine drinker? What medication are you taking for the heartburn? Definitely recommend you follow this up with your physician since this has been going on for a couple of months.
Avatar f tn m overweight, and this is my first baby and I want to do a vaginal delivery. I heard people say that overweight can make delivery more difficult.
Avatar n tn Please state your weight (in kg or lbs) and your height so I am able to help you. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Sound's like Sleep Apnea. Usually people with breathing issues and overweight people get it. Sleep with you head elevated and NOT on your back. If it's happening more then 2x a night let your Dr know.
Avatar f tn I don't eat fast food I eat a lot of fruits and bread like for breakfast I eat scrambled eggs with toast or Cuban bread and I'll have a Bagel mid day. I eat peanut butter granola bars I'm like obsessed with them. I don't exercise I work in a restaurant so by the time I get home I'm just beat and want to rest. The crazy thing is that I do not look like I've gained so much weight.. people think I've only gained like 10 pounds.
Avatar f tn I am feeling absolutely fine and have never been diagnosed with thyroid problems in the past. In fact, I am pretty overweight just due to not dieting or exercising like I should have been. They prescribed me the lowest dosage of Synthroid available. I cannot for the life of me understand why they would give this to me having a slightly overactive thyroid because I am under the impression that it is for people with underactive thyroids.
Avatar f tn HI, According to the American Cancer Society, there is a sharp increase in stomach cancer rates in people over the age of 50 and most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are between their late 60s and 80s. Regular follow-up with your doctor is highly recommended for monitoring the nodules and to ease any worry. You may also benefit from a referral to a pulmonologist to clear this out. Take care always and let me know if you have additional queries. Best regards.
Avatar n tn I would not experience heartburn in the moment, though I do have history of heartburn. I do not eat at least two hours before bedtime. I do not feel out of breath, but it feels like it is difficult to breathe. To get relief, I usually have to lie on my side (left is better than right side). I sometimes do experience left shoulder pain along with chest pressure. Sometimes, I feel deep burning like pain in the middle of the chest, but it feels different than heartburn.
Avatar f tn Well I started out 20 lbs heavier than what I wanted to be when I found out I was preg. For me pregnancy is horrible (morning sickness, constipation, heartburn) if I don't eat super healthy. So I end up not gaining much because of that. So just eat what will make your body feel good. I ate a lot of fruit and veggies cuz they didn't make me sick. And I ate 5-6 times a day, small amounts to avoid heartburn. And I drank lots of water. You'll know what your body needs.
Avatar f tn I am overweight and as I started to lose some, I got pregnant. Has anyone gone through this? I'm nervous what 9 months is gonna feel like when my feet already hurt due to my size :( anyone lose any weight while being pregnant ?
Avatar n tn Hi, I've never used a site like this but here goes. I am 5'8 and weigh 160...I just finished my freshmen year of college and started at about 145. I've always been insecure about my body, but now it's even worse. I was so athletic in highschool, worked out everyday, but in college it was not like that AT ALL, to say the least. Anyways, I was just wondrering what you suggest I should do to lose as much weight as possible.
Avatar n tn I'm planning to lose 100 lbs after my baby is born, not all at once,.I know it takes time but I'm 240 almost & need to lose it. What are the best weight loss programs for at home? Tae bo? Insanity? Jillian Michaels shed in 30? I already do yoga & some pilates. I run when I'm not pregnant also.
Avatar f tn Are you sure they are watching you or maybe you just think they are? Most people are so caught up in their own lifes they could care less about other people. With anxiety you can tend to "think" people are looking at you. Do you ever feel scared and don't know why? Are you super aware of your body and worry about your heart beating too fast, or start sweating on your palms? If you do it's anxiety and a doctor can help you overcome it.
Avatar f tn I have been having chest pains for over a year. Mid chest pain sometimes in neck & ears too. Never after eating or any heartburn. My PCP had me do all the heart tests. All neg. after an endoscopy, ultrasound & HIDA scan, I have Barrett’s esophagus, hiatal hernia, gallstones & an EF rate of 7%. My only symptom is the chest pain that lasts about 10 min. Sometimes 2-3 times a week or a week or two in between.
Avatar m tn Let me know as I have been stressing like very crazy that I have HIV.... many people have been saying that these symptoms are not in line. But just looking for another opinion. Thanks. I been having lots of anxiety regarding this.
Avatar f tn daytime sleepiness no matter how many hours spent sleeping, headaches (usually in the morning and at night), snoring, acid reflux/heartburn, tossing and turning all night, jerking yourself awake or waking yourself up by snoring too deeply, stopping breathing during sleep, gasping during sleep, sour taste in your mouth, leg swelling, getting up at night a lot to pee, and sweating excessively during sleep.
1161604 tn?1388875598 t be continuing it mainly due to the sugar in the shakes. My problem is im petrified of eating normally as I put weight on really easily. I know theres a big debate about whether its safe to diet in pregnancy but I need help on at least maintaining my weight and possibly losing some. I wont be talking to a midwife for another 4 weeks or so so I need help from someone who has gone through or going through something similar.
Avatar n tn My boyfriend and I had sex in Feburary. We used a Spermicidal lubricated condom and there was no ejaculation.I am not on any sort of contraceptive pill. I havent had my period in almost 2 months. We are both smokers and recreational marijuna users and overweight, I havent had any symptoms besides heartburn and vomiting on a single occasion. Ive taken 7 pregnancy tests and they all showed negative...

Avatar f tn Several years ago I was diagnosed with reflux because of my excessive burping. I was put on Protonix. It never seemed to work all that well but whenever I tried to go off it I had horrible heartburn. I am to point now that I really want off it but can't stand the heartburn. Any suggestions?
