So I've been having these odd episodes of extreme abdominal burning pain located just lower than the breast bone in the center. Feels similar to heartburn but I've only ever had that while pregnant and it was always relieve immediately with a few Tums. This is puzzling to me. Here's the past few incidents of it....
Saturday: Ate lunch around noon, felt fine. Had a brownie around 2pm and within 15 minutes, this pain started along with nausea/dry heaves. No relief from Tums. Lasted about 2.5 hours and finally gone.
Sunday: Ate lunch around noon, felt fine. Had a cup of green tea around 1:30pm and within 15 minutes, same thing happened as Saturday.
Monday: No symptoms
Tuesday: Ate dinner around 5:30pm, felt fine. Had some almonds & 20 Reese's Pieces around 8:30pm. Went to bed at 10pm and was awakened at 11pm with EXTREME pain/burning again. Took some Tums, no help. Went to lay on the recliner, no help. Took a Tylenol PM hoping it would knock me out, no help. Had some dry heaves. Took more Tums, no help. I've had 6 babies without any epidurals and never cried from the pain, last night I was sobbing because it hurt so bad. Finally around 2:15am I was able to fall asleep. Wake up feeling fine in the morning.
So anyone have any experience with reflux, heartburn, GERD, etc?? Just not sure what I have going on. And not sure what OTC meds I should try. Sorry to be so long winded but I'm really not liking this and need some help. Thanks
