About 6 months ago I began having random stomach attacks... about
twice a month. unbearable pain about one inch below where my sternum ends- right in the middle. The pain is so bad it paralyzes me- I have to lay down - writhing in pain- it is accompanied by chills, sweating, nausea, bloating. It feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. It lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. I have an armory of Tums, Maalox, Mylanta, PeptoBismal. Nothing helps.... there is no rhyme or reason- no food connection.
