Heartburn Or Gallbladder (no GERD or ulcers) Posted: 10-27-07 06:29am
I am a 34 year old mom & I have had
the worst heartburn for the past week! it
is constant and dull, and then sometimes
it flares up so bad that i vomit. It
comes on out of the blue, (not triggered
by anything i eat), and no amount of pepto
or zantac gives me relief. it hurts right
in the middle of my stomach, at the top of
my rib cage, and even my back is hurting
now. i had an endoscopy yesterday which
revealed nothing (meaning, no gerd or
ulcers) and i am scheduled for an
ultrasound later this week. i have a
feeling that i have a gall bladder issue,
since it runs in my family, even though my
symptoms are different than my mom's were.
(hers were much more acute &
violent.) anyway, i would not be able to
have it removed for another 6 weeks (if
necessary) and i am hoping there is some
way to find relief in the meantime. Maybe
it is heartburn??

I would wait and see how the test results
come out. They found my Gerd through a
chst X-Ray an then I went for an endoscopy
and it showed my asaphagus was reall
inflamed and damaged for the acid refux
and now take a little blue pill every
morning to keep it in check with no more
damage from the acid coming up.
