Weird feeling in upper stomach area. Indegestion...

Hello. I would like to ask a question reguarding some symptoms I am having in hopes that someone might be able to tell me what it might be. I have been believed to be diagnosed by two+ doctors that I have Acid Reflux Disease. However, here are the symptoms... I have chronic indegestion, not heartburn, even if I take Prilosec, which I am currently on, and if I take another antacid on top of it. Nothing works. Or, it will work for a short period of time, and then I eat and the symptoms come back again. I feel like there is food in my throat, 70% of the time when I am awake during the day. That is whether I eat or not. Also, recently, I have started getting this feeling of, not necessarily pain, but like pressure or tenderness right below the ribcage in the middle of my abdomen, towards the top. Right where the stomach would be, I suppose. I am also experiencing constant fatigue whcih comes and goes and constant gas/belching. I go between constipation and diarrhea a lot. I am just wondering if anyone is experiencing something similar to this or if there is a doctor who might know what this may be. I am starting to fear gallbladder, liver, or pancreas symptoms. But, I have no vomiting or anything like that. Also, no fever. Please help and let me know! Thanks!

I am having the same symptoms, I also have an overactive thyroid and thought it might be from the meds, been to the hospital 3 times over the past month and they also said I may have GERD, I also have constant pulsating in the same area and palpitations........

This is so weird that I would read your post tonight. You described every symptom my mom had and she was told Acid Reflux too. She actually has diverticulitis and because her symptoms went on so long without proper diagnosis she ended up with abscesses on her intestines. She is currently in the hospital on the mend. Again, I can't stress how reading your post was like going over my moms symptoms. Like you she couldn't eat, she had constant pain high on her left side. She was easily fatigued. A catscan is what revealed the problem so talk to your doctor again about your symptoms and see about getting a catscan. Good luck.

Hi, I had similar problems two years ago, my doctor sent me for an endoscopy.
The finding were that I was suffering from Hihatus Hernia, they also suggested that due to my problems at the time it could have been a peptic ulcer that had got better under the medication that I had been prescribed while waiting for the endoscopy. The problems never ended there due to lower stomach cramps and a mixture of constipation and diarrhea, after reading all my symptons on the net I explained this to the doctor and let him suggest it was IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome. While left feeling very ill and lethargic through constant cramps indegestion etc There was nothing seriously wrong with me and through a prescription of Zantac and Mint Capsules: the symptons can be relieved it is obviously a good idea to get some scans done such as Ultra- Sound to check for blockages in the intestine. I was also prescribed fibrogel which I hate and really bloats me up,but it certainly does the job of cleaning the intestine and strengthening the lining of the intestine, if you pay for your prescritions it would still pay you to have these items on prescription because the boxes you get on prescription are much larger. Failing that you could also be wheat intolerant which upsets the whole of the system have a good look and your diet and be totally honest with yourself. Hope this is helpful Jenny Shocked

You might want to consider being tested for celiac disease. My daughter has it can often complains of indigestion/heart burn and before being diagnosed she suffered from a lot of constipation and belly pain.

Hi

I have read your posts and must say I experience all the above. I also feel uncomfortable when bending and if i wear clothes with tighter waistbands. I seem to experience temperature and sweats, but then I am in my change as well. had a camera down my throat about 18 months ago along with throat and neck scans and was told I had a hiatius hernia Sad

it can be so uncomfortable. This with the feeling of anxiety at times over the condition makes it much worse, particularly at night time. Eating bread is also a no, no and an ever growng list of favourite foods.
