I've been having stomach pains for the past week. What's going on?!
Question: I've been having stomach pains for the past week!. What's going on!?
I've been to the doctor and the ER last week for my stomach, and will hopefully get to see a GI specialist this week!. But until then can I get some opinions on what may be going on!? The doctors can't seem to get a definite answer!.
-The pain feels like it's burning and is sometimes relieved by eating
-When I lie down I feel a lump in my throat
-I feel nauseous
-When I walk around I feel better
-It only happens at night (this is the one factor that stumped everyone)
-On Thursday my stool was black (but I had a blood test done and I'm not anemic and I don't have a UTI)
-Thursday through Sunday night I had diarrhea (it was still black)
-My dad has been giving me antacids and it only works for a short while then it makes my stomach sore
When I went to the ER I was diagnosed with having acid reflux, and that the diarrhea was caused by overdosing on antacids!. I took a Prilosec pill last night but whenever I woke up my stomach was sore (and still is)!. This morning I had diarrhea again, twice!.
:-/ Is it really acid reflux!? I just want to get better because this has been hell for me!. :-(Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
don't worry - i've been having the exact same problems that you're encountering!. except i've had mine for about two years now!. unfortunately i have not had the diarrhea/black stool problem but i think that's caused by the antacids!. i was diagnosed with acid reflux a few years ago after i continued to have terrible heartburn from eating any type of breads or crackers!. and then it turned into nausea and i'd say im nauseous at least 2/3 of the day!. not gonna lie, it sucks haha but i've just learned to deal with it now!. and i sometimes get the pain in my stomach but thats because its my stomachs way of telling me that i should probably eat something even though i may not feel hungry!. and i always feel a lump in my throat after lying down!. this is gonna sound weird, but it actually helps to burp!. i unfortunately can't burp (no lie - i just can't make a burp haha), but i hiccup and that always makes me feel a little better!. i now take a prilosec everyday and that helps with my heartburn and somewhat helps with the nausea, but i usually use tums to help the nausea even though they don't last very long!. however, after going to the dentist today, i learned that chewing tums can give you cavities and my stomach basically relies on tums for my nausea so i would recommend switching to something that's sugar-free so that you do not have to deal with cavities from tums! who knew!?! haha!
ps - one more recommendation!. chew gum!. it sounds weird, but it helps a lot! it helps keep the nausea a bit low and it helps the acid reflux!. i usually chew it after meals and throughout the day and it has been a huuuuuge help!. hope this answers some of your questions!Www@Answer-Health@Com
