What could she have? Plz help?!


Question: What could she have? Plz help?
My mom has a fatty liver already. She has had it for a while now. About a month ago, she had some tightening feeling in her stomach and her doctor said it was her stomach bunching up or pancreas. They haven't figured that out yet though but she recently had a blood test done to check for pancreatitis and an ulcer. It hasn't come back yet though.

Her symptoms this past month have been burning in chest, pain radiating in her chest, down her arm, major belching after each chest pain stops (eating and not eating and while walking.) It gets worse when walking regularly or with certain foods/drinks.

So she went to the E.R. when it wasn't that bad because she thought it was the heart. She stayed overnight at the hospital while the doctors kept checking her blood all night every few or so hours to see if it was a heart condition. It wasn't and they said she had good labs. She was sent home the next day with "gas."

She still continued to get it and she still had to stop while walking because she was in so much pain. She ended up crying in pain and I had to call ambulance for her. Then when she got in the hospital she said her pain during that time was a nine out of ten. The doctors diagnosed her with "esophageal spasms."

She still continues to get chest pain when doing anything even with minor exertion and small snacks. She just rests and has soup, pudding, jello, etc. < Light stuff to eat. She was given three medications 1) Prilosec in the morning, 2) Maalox after every meal, 3) Zantac at night

Answers:

It cold be caused by gluten or dairy. I don't know, but try cutting those out. Doctors don't have good tests for it.



go to the doctors again
or if u want you could continue and find if anything more severe happens THEN u could go to the doctor

Hope this helps :)
