Q: Hunger Pains Gone Wrong!!

Hi, every night I wake up at 4am with servere hunger pains, so bad that I have to run to the kitchen to get something to eat or else I feel as though I will be sick (however I havent yet been sick). This started a couple of months after my 15mth old boy was born and it's getting worse. When it first started I just had to eat a cracker or something and the feeling would go, but now when it happens even though my stomach is saying that im extremely hungry as soon as I go to eat something I feel like im going to be sick. So I cant win either way!!! Im starting to get really worried. I feel terrible in the mornings too (no, im not pregnant!!!!!). Ive been to lots of doctors and know one can give me an answer. Please, please, please can anyone help me??? These pains are starting to effect my whole life style. Im tired cause I never get a decent night sleep and I always feel off. I really do need some help! Thank you

I remember seeing a tv special about this on nbc10 once. They showed remdies to cure hunger cravings in the middle of the night. So maybe you could go to nbc10.Com and look under archives (this was a long time ago). Or maybe you have stomach condition? Is it related to pregnancy???? Another sol'n is to try to see what happens if you dont eat, what happens if you do eat a whole meal and then go to the doctor with better info on your conditon. Then you wont feel so lost when they talk about it. Or you could go to a website like mywebmd.Com and ask a question online. Or drdonnica.Com (women's health site) hope this helps. Keep me posted and take care of yourself.
Good luck, I guess going to the Dr. Is th best bet. I know, I hate going to the Dr. So i'm being a hypocrite here. :lol: :d

I had the same thing. Ask your doctor if he can refer you for and endoscopy to check for ulcers.

Yep, ulcers is my best bet too.
I had them and know that the lets night, mid night hunger pains were actually acid eating away at me.
Try taking some tums/antacid before bed untill you can see a Dr.

Stomach Ulcers

Watch the tums .. If it is an ulcer antacids will make it worse because they lower stomach acidity which allows the bacteria to grow and eat away at that spot. Get to the doctor for the right kind of medicine asap!
