Can indigestion be this severe?

You're not giving us enough information. Are you overweight, do you smoke, do you drink alcohol, do you exercise, etc, etc, etc. Going on what little you've told us I suggest you drink a good dose of Liquid parrafin and it might shift the load if not already gone.

You've answered your own question. Get your diet and life in order. You're not eating properly, get some fresh air and start living. Don't say you don't have the time, you have. It's in your own hands to sort this, do it and get a life. This might come across as arrogant but you give the impression that's what you need. Good luck.

Hey dear..Health is wealth and the best principle to maintain an incredible and lasting health is to keep your diet in a normal sequence.Try to have time for your self and also take a break off the computer for atleast 2hours in order to gain a balance diet..I also work on the computer 24/7 but i don't joke with my health..If you gain the whole money in the world and you don't have a proper health segment,how then could you be able to spend your money.

So my friend my advice for is to try by all means to have a balance and proper diet for your body..Wish you all the best.

A little bit more information is that I'm 26 and generally healthy. I've never had any major illnesses in my life and this came out of nowhere. I'm more nauseous in the morning and that stays usually the whole day. I eat small portions frequently, and I've noticed that once my stomach is empty, that's when my nausea subsides a bit. Banana's are my favorite fruit, but they completely set off my nausea intensely. For some reason I can't stomach them. Usually by night time it feels bearable, but as soon as I wake up again, I'm sick all over again. I've missed many important events because of this, and my anniversary was cut short after trying to eat a small portion of a salad and rushing home after becoming nearly sick.

I know that my anxiety probably makes this feel worse than it is, but it's definitely not all in my mind. One reason I think it could possibly be an ulcer is because last year I had really bad period cramps and took a lot of ibuprofen with not much food on my stomach. After that I felt a burning sensation in my stomach and almost went to the ER because of it. Ever since then, I've had slight burning in my stomach on and off, but it was very mild and ignorable. Well last month I took some naproxen on a slightly empty stomach again and I felt the mild burning in my stomach afterwards. I didn't feel sick or anything, but I wonder if that is it. The burning I feel is under my left ribcage and it's in the same spot any time I feel it. The burning comes sometimes when my stomach is empty like lastnight, and I'll get intense hunger pains every now and then, but it doesn't hurt at all. I barely consider it a pain because I'm used to feeling it at this point.

So I'm not sure if this is the cause of an ulcer. I don't have intense pain or anything, just REALLY bad nausea, but I really hope I will get my answer soon, and hopefully this post will be able to help someone in the future that may be faced with these issues,

Hi there, just to say that this does sound like a hiatus hernia,I have one and of late have had similar symptoms to you.

I have Barretts Esophagus,a hiatus hernia and diverticulitis,and recently I have had intermittent diarrheoa,passing

8-10 times per day,along with what feels like a pulled muscle in my stomach,not everyday I hasten to add,although the strain or tightness is always there,this is usually accompanied by numerous flutterings in the stomach,which I put down to nerves,as this is making me very anxious,which of course does not help.

No pain,ever,just occasionally some bloating,especially at night.

I can eat anything,but sometimes I regret it,my appetite is phenomenal,which is so strange,I have had colonoscopies,endoscopies,blood tests and the problems I mentioned above have been highlighted by these.

I am 68,I walk miles per day,at pace,I hardly drink or smoke,and look after myself pretty well really.

I shall have to see the doctor again as this last bout has lasted a few days,but with regard to your problems I can tell you that I had a duodenal ulcer at age 22,which was eventually dispersed thanks to a medicine called Caved-S (this was 1972 I may add) and this burning you feel does not sound like an ulcer to me as you would get a lot more pain,I actually thought at the time I had cancer.

One thing that it could be is a peptic ulcer,these are quite nasty and can cause symptoms like yours,but there again so could a hiatus hernia,either of these will cause lasting indigestion,along with bloating and many more side effects.

I must admit I never get nausea,but if there is a hernia then acid reflux and GERD will trigger nausea,interesting that the meal you referred to was sprinkled with lemon juice,I love lemons but they do not love me,and it adds weight to the fact that you may well have a small ulcer in the stomach wall,best to get it checked out.

Hope this helps,I am lying in bed and have just had a spate of tummy discomfort,but that's not unusual,I have learned to accept it,it never seems to go away.

I wish you well,and I do hope you get a diagnosis for this as soon as you can,good luck!

Regards Malc

Hi I have made a similar comment on my suggestion today with another poster..so,this will hopefully

The dr said my very tender r h side of abdomen was diverticulitis  and put me on three days off good quality broth ..and drinking fluid etc... then a few days of very small meals.. a small piece of fish with a spoonfull of veg..cabbage or,spinach etc...or a poached egg,  or a small portion of tomatoes without,any seeds or a few mushrooms ,or a couple of spoonfuls of minced turkey

I had these very very small meals a few rimes a day.. not even a side plate size..

Truly that worked..maybemit,was,the seven days flagyl and cripto I had to take at the start..reluctantly I,admit..I am not good with them..

having had to take every day before,this Senna fibrogel ducosate, all on prescription with a prolapsed bowel for,the second time..repair,op schedule in a couple,of,days.(if not cancelled again)

I have not taken anything for my constipation since followingmthis,regime..now still eat little and often but,one meal is,now a little larger..

So in conclusion it maybe,that although I am 82 and haven’t had a big appetite for quite a time, I was actually getting bunged up inside, with things like raisins ..skins..tomatoes seeds and things like that, and my Evacuation, was so slow I almost,stopped functioning properly.

I ha e slow evacuation but I seem to be managing at the moment without Senna etc, and I can’t believe it really,  How could I,have been so stupid,and just,accepted all these prescriptions.

of course I don’t know how I will. Be after my bowel op..but if it was the correct thing to do with further pain, my first reaction would be good quality broth, bought from Ocado ugh...then tiny meals.

I have no medical knowledge,and it has taken me a long time to ha e some common sense.

I apologise if,this doesn’t fit your situation,..it’s just,that,I,though it might be of interest to see what has worked for me...so far

good luck 

 ps of course I may be back for more advice myself 😊
