    Hi Emma

    I'm no expert but it sounds like something my brother suffered with - Gallstones.  You might want to get checked out for gall bladder problems. Can be done with blood tests and ultrasound scans.

    Yes like everyone else, sounds like gall stones, terrible heartburn like pain that wont ease no matter what you take . I went to hospital when i was badand only morphine relieved the pain . I darnt eat any thing at the time. Im ok now i had my gallbladder removed, great.
