Acid Reflux
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have had this condition for a number of years and am on Omeprazole daily.
A few years ago I started suffering acute pains in my lower chest, in the middle, and upper stomach. I thought I was suffering from wind so a few mouthfuls of Diet Pepsi seemed to relieve the symptoms. Over a period of time the symptoms got worse and my daughter thought I was suffering an allergy to the artificial sweetners, as I was also using sweeteners in my tea and coffee at the time. I stopped using the sweetners and my symptoms got better. However the past few days have been terrible. After every meal I am experiencing the same pains and only get relief if I vomit. Can this be an acceleration of my acid reflux? I have not changed my diet or eating habits but am very stressed at the moment. I read somewhere that stress can increase the symptoms.
Any advice would be great

He ws very quick to put this down to acid reflux and gave me Omeprazole.
I had my gallbladder removed at the end of April and came off Omeprazole for a while.
But I am still getting these pains first thing in morning. Am back on them.
I am going to see another GP who I really like on Tuesday next week to hopefully sort out what is going on.
Take care and keep in touch
