i have upper stomach pain that comes and goes. when i get it it lasts for a few hours then it goes away and feel nothing during that time.

Hi, I just underwent an upper endoscopy and biopsy yesterday for some stomach pain I've had for several years. I haven't gotten test results back but so far have been diagnosed with chronic gastritis and reflux esophagitis. My question is about how I am feeling right now. From all I've read there should be no pain or discomfort after the procedure but I feel like someone punched me in the stomach and I'm nauseated.

Hi. I'm 34 year old mother of 2 young children. For the last year, I haven't been able to feel normal. Last September, I was vomiting so I went to the doctor and she ran regular blood work and it showed urobilinogen in my urine (4.0). She did an ultrasound of my gallbladder and liver and it showed no abnormalities. We did urine again a week later and it was down to 0.2.

I had similar symptoms as you and they checked every single organ and abdomen thru mri and ultrasounds and found nothing..I have a friend who always complained of pain in his stomach they did an upper endoscopy 2 years ago and doc said he was fine ....two years later they find a malignant mass in his stomach that supposedly has been there for too long so his chances of survival are slim. I strongly believe that if one doc is says u r ok you should always seek more than one opinion.

Why it has not settled in these 5 months? I always thought antibiotics cause lower stomach pain but pain is in the upper stomach and is very severe.

Hi my boyfriend is going for his first upper endoscopy test in a few days. We both understand that you cannot drive after the procedure but would like to know if you can drive at all after the procedure has been done? His procedure is done in the early afternoon.

Did he get this stomach pain before taking Aciphex or after? Did you try probiotics? He could do a hydrogen breath test to see if he has a small bowel overgrowth. The limitation with colonoscopy is that it is just the colon. If you do endoscopy(by mouth) you only get to see first part of small intestine. If you use the pill cam you can see the whole digestive tract though you can't take any biopsies or interact with anomalies.

Or, afterwards? If afterwards, how much time after the endoscopy are you talking? I just had an endoscopy, and I was completly put out for it...I swallowed the spray they put on the back of my throat..and then out I went...didnt wake up till I was back in recovery. That was 3 days ago. I have a bit of a sore throat, but definatly nothing "painful". I think you should call your physician.

Hi, As part of evaluation of upper abdominal pain, upper GI endoscopy and ultrasound scan of abdomen need to be done. (Upper abdominal pain could be due to ulcer disease, pancreatitis, cholecystitis or hepatitis). The treatment depends on the cause. =============================================================== The information provided is for patients’ education only and is not a medical advice.

On Monday 12/13/2010 I had an upper endoscopy. Dr said I have gerd and hiatal hernia. Also took biopsies but I won't know the results of those until next week. Anyway since I've been hone from the hospital I've had excessive gas which I hear is normal from the air they pump in your stomach but yesterday I had the sensation of a knot in my throat and near my diaphragm and dizziness. This morning woke up with a violent case of diarrehea that woke me up after only 4 hours of sleep.

I just got my upper endoscopy done today. On the sheet my doctor gave me his findings read "patulous lower exophageal sphinter" and "Gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema". He also took a biopsy of part of my stomach where that gastric mucosal abnormality was. I guess that means my doctor said he saw red inflamated parts of my stomach. But I am just wondering what exactly those two terms mean? Apparently I have GERD becuase of all the acid being built up....

An upper endoscopy goes down your throat and looks at your stomach. A lower endoscopy (colonoscopy) goes up your rectum and looks at your large intestine (colon).

I am a 50 year old woman with pain/pressure in the upper stomach (at the very top of the stomach area) and also pain/pressure between my shoulder blades. My Dr started me on a type of prilosec saying it was most likely acid reflux. I've been on this for a few weeks with no relief. I also get no relief from rolaids, tums etc... The pain/pressure is worse after I eat (it doesn't matter what I eat or how little I eat, always the same).

The second is that every 2 weeks or so I get unbearable pain in my stomach between the bottom of my rib cage and belly button. The pain lasts between 20 and 60 minutes. My surgeon prescribed hyoscyamine for the pain which seems to help the pain as it cuts the duration and intensity but the nausea is still there. I have had a colonoscopy a year ago and a recent endoscopy. The endoscopy showed gastritis. When I was in the hospital I had a CT, mrcp, and ultrasound.

About 3 months ago I was violently sick on an empty stomach and after that started getting stomach pains, I felt like I had damaged something during the vomiting. I was diagnosed with gastritis and tried ppis which didn't help, then some homeopathic remedies and now on high strength Zantac which helps a little. I pretty much have a moderate stomach pain all the time which gets worse with any irritating food so I have been sticking to a bland diet.

I was having upper abdominal pain for quite a while, after ruling out an ulcer I wound up having my gallbladder removed in January and the pain went away. Now I'm having new problems. For the past month or so, a few times a week, when I wake up in the morning I feel horribly sick. I have upper abdominal pain, kind of burning, grinding, hard to describe, nausea, go between sweating and the chills, and have several bowel movements. The more bowel movements I have the better I seem to feel.

Complications such as a gastrointestinal tear or infection are very low after endoscopy but they do happen. Chest pain is one of the symptoms. Being uncomfortable is quite common though after the procedure. But further evaluation is in order if this does not resolve. People generally do not have chronic pain after an endoscopy so wouldn't be worried about 'having to live with pain' forever.
