Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn while fasting

heartburn

Avatar n tn ve have had these same tests done non-fasting and fasting. I believe the reason behind the fasting is that some of the measurements are more accurate after fasting especially glucose. I think the docs just want the most accurate results they can get. I would relax until you get your results. A high GGT can be an indicator of alcohol consumption but I would pay more attention to AST and ALT. In any case cutting out alcohol is the healthiest decision if you are concerned. Take Care!
Avatar f tn Ya I wouldnt recommend it. I mean the baby is going to take from your body what it needs but its not going to get the proper nutrients that it needs. How long are you talking about fasting for though??? If its a day maybe that would be ok but if it were a week I dont think its healthy for you or baby.... Just an opinion though. I know it may be something your culture does and believes in doing but I wouldnt suggest it.
Avatar f tn I'm 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and I'm having some Hella bad migraines. I also have terrible sinuses, heartburn and I've been physically sick alot, with a fever and what not. I'm allergic to acetmenaphin(tylenol) which is supposedly the only thing I can take while pregnant. My doctor refuses to write me prescriptions for anything else and tells me to deal with it and there's nothing else like aspirin that I can take. She's very rude.
Avatar n tn They should have given u ur appt time 12 hrs before u start fasting usually they do it early in the morning i started fasting at 12 midnight and had my app at 8:15 am and thats what i thought i wasn't ganna be able to go that long without eating but the sugar drink they give u helps have something in ur stomach i guess
262365 tn?1268508268 d like to add that I have lost two pounds between my 2 wk appointment because also for the past three weeks I have been suffering with acid flux/heartburn very badly. So bad til it makes me skip meals to avoid the heartburn. I also noticed that I wake up feeling nasally; I have to blow my nose (trying to clear my throat), it feels like the back of my throat is filled with mucus. I have not had a cold or virus or any so throat.
Avatar f tn It good to eat pepper while pregnant, my friend just told me i should not eat pepper it can affect the baby so it get me so sacred am from africa and we mostly eat much pepper pls calm me down
Avatar f tn You have more blood volume while pregnant so your heart has to work harder. If the chest pains have you in tears I would call your doctor and let them know. Sometimes heartburn will mimic chest pain also, it could be a lot of things.
Avatar f tn qualified, many not) have claimed that fasting can cure many ailments, including diabetes. Long-term fasting in anyone has potential dangers and should not be undertaken without close monitoring by a physician, nurse practitioner, medical dietician (as part of a multi-disciplinary team) or other qualified health care provider.

Avatar f tn Also, they may want to check your abdominal aorta as well. And in ladies, a heart attack can present itself as heartburn, so if that is they type of pain your are feeling (heartburn) after you eat, make sure a doctor checks your heart as well! Besides the vascular system, make sure your potassium is not low (get a blood test through your doctor), as low potassium can cause muscle cramps. Another thing that can cause them are a lot of the cholesterol lowering statin drugs.

Avatar f tn Try rennies or gaviscon n try milk. I also find drinkin water with ice cubes in helps a little. I suffer so badly from acid reflux n heartburn have dun even before being pregnant but even worse now n have it everyday.
Avatar f tn But there is just one problem. While im excercising whether it running on my own or at practice. I am experiencing severe stomach pain like someone is sticking a knife into my stomach. I get really gassy and have heartburn or my chest hurts. My mom seems to think it because I am not drinking enough water and I am dehydrated. I just dont think she is right because I am drinking water.
Avatar f tn Today, I was eating dinner and just as I took my first bite, I started to get heartburn. Then everything around me became fuzzy. A few minutes later I woke up and found myself on the floor. I can't understand why I fainted, because I am a healthy teenager and don't really suffer from any medical problems. Could you please help me out?
Avatar f tn Fasting for one glucose test is not the same as fasting for the whole month of Ramadan. The first commenter is correct, you are exempted from fasting and following that exemption is strongly encouraged for the health of your baby.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, what's a good way to relieve heartburn besides for tums, Zantac and meds. I stay away from meds while pregnant. I usually just fight threw it but it's every night and almost day now :/ never had this much with my first so unsure how to relieve it? Thanks! Btw I'm 30w3days alonge.
Avatar f tn Not to take away from you're good results, but although diet pop won't make you gain weight it is more dangerous to your health than sugar. This doesn't mean sugar is good for you, it just means the artificial sweeteners are even worse. Weight isn't the only thing that damages health. The best thing to do is stop drinking pop altogether and substitute sparkling spring water with whatever fruit flavors you like.
Avatar m tn s important to get your post-prandial (post-meal) blood glucose checked as well as your fasting BG, as you can be diabetic with normal fasting BG.
Avatar f tn It's because of fasting. When you sleep, you fast. So when you wake up, you get sick from not eating, something like an anorexic. You need to take it slow when you wake up, stay in bed for at least 10-20 minutes before getting up. Within those 10-20 or so minutes, EAT! ALWAYS have something beside your bed to snack on. And it's going to last all day sometimes. But you need to remember to eat frequently and little portions. and never go right to sleep after a big meal.
11478709 tn?1526751275 Ask them about your results.Sometimes they forget to call people back. Did you do a fasting test? Or was it random? Have you tried taking several small meals a day instead of 1 - 3 meals a day? Have you had your ears checked? Your sinuses? These can both cause those feelings as well. Don't give up hope! You could always buy a test kit at a drugstore and check for yourself as well. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take tums while pregnant? I have acid reflux now and it's scary it tastes horrible and I don't like waking up choking in the middle of the night. I get it even after 2-3 hours of eating.

Avatar m tn I GET MY MEDS THROUGH THE VA,WHY IS MY DOCTOR ONLY CONCERNED WITH MY FASTING SUGAR LEVELS?
