Its hard not to seem like a hypocondriac when your symptoms are internal. Family, doctor (primary), and friends think maybe its in my head. Its like I have to bleed or faint to prove it geesh!


Anyhow, here is my story (off the soapbox now), around may or june I started having odd breathing symptoms when laying down. As if the wind pipe was narrower but didnt think too much of it.

4th july went drinking (drink a drink a week or so). And felt liquor burn in my stomach and esophagus for about 3 days. Ever since things keep creeping up such as stomach cramping feeling (mostly around belly button and in the pelvic are). Back pain is killing me. Cant touch alcohol and have a bunch of gas. Oh and the breathing...Its troublesome now even when sitting.


It cant just be an ulcer which would cause many of the symptoms in the upper area but what about the back pain and the pelvic pain (which sounds like colon pain from the gas?).

Oh, acid reflux has been a weekly visitor for me and father and sister have ulcers...Grandfather died of stomach cancer (yeah I know crappy stomach history but im 30!!! I need more time to get sick!)


any ideas? Its been a while already. Finally got an endoscopy sched in 4 days. Scared crapless of cancer symptoms which resemble pretty much everything else although trying to be positive.


Have a 1 yr old beautiful daughter and the thought of something really bad happening is worrysome.
