This has just been for the past few days. I'll eat like an apple and a small ham/egg english muffin and I feel very full (which is not usual) The bloating goes up to my chest and can cause chest pains.
I was diagnosed w/IBS about 17 years ago and I probably have GERD (2 yrs), which i take Prevacid for. My IBS is pretty much under control. I take probiotics as well. I did recently run out of my marshmallow root but I only took one pill a day and never noticed any difference before when I'd miss a day or two.
I read on here it could be gastroparesis...??
I also have been taking Allegra for about 1.5 weeks for a severe pain in my left ear. Could that med cause this? I burp a lot too. I've been trying to drink more herbal tea but it doesn't seem to be helping. I eat at least 2 fruits a day and take benefiber. My work schedule (pet sitter) was heavy over the holidays and I had been getting broken sleep (sleep 3 hrs, work, sleep 3 hrs, etc) and I've been quite tired. (I'm giving all this extra info to avoid lots of questions later.) My schedule has calmed down now, but I'm still tired. My mom recently caught a cold from my dad but I don't have it yet.
Went to the doctor and he gave me hyoscyamine to calm the contractions. I'm kind of leary that this will help...
He doesn't think the Allegra would cause this. It's hard to sleep at times b/c of this feeling, as I have to sit up in bed or it feels worse.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do?
