Constant Indegestion Even With Antacids. And More.... Posted: 01-07-07 21:33pm
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!
