So I had another account but it stopped working maybe because of my e-mail or something so I just created this one. I'm sorry if this ends up being too big but I am really worried..

So it all started in the past November. I was having lunch at some restaurant and at certain point I was feeling really full but at the same time I had this weird stomach pain really similar to hunger which wasn't definitely it. With time it ended up going away. Now maybe two months ago I started having that kind of feeling many times a day. I also had sometimes soft heartburns, lots of burps and gas and my tummy kept making all sort of noises. I let time pass but things got a bit worse. I started feeling really bloated and full, having the same tummy noises and burps and stuff. My intestines were never that regular but they became even worse, my stools became less consistent sometimes. One day I was simply chewing a gum and I started feeling blood taste in my mouth so I went to the bathroom so I could spit. As I did I noticed my saliva was mixed in with blood but just a little bit so it stopped right away. I went to the doctor the next day (which was yesterday) but as I was really nervous I don't think I've explained myself very well. I came back home with antiacids to take during 3 weeks to see what happens. Today I woke up feeling normal, took the antiacid thing 30 minutes after breakfast and then I ate. A couple of hours later I started feeling really unwell. I had diarrhea during some long minutes and honestly I thing I still have. I was also feeling really sick but I'm one of those people who never throws up, I simply can't. I also had this huge pain in my upper stomach that kept going until my back and also this sharp pains around my abdomen. I also started having a weird feeling in my throat, like I have something right there that won't go up or down. It still didn't kept me from eating and my weight is still normal because I make myself eat but I'm really worried and don't know what to do. Can somebody please give me an honest opinion?

Ps. Sorry if my english sucks ;p

    GERD will do that to your throat.  Long before my Hiatle hernia was diagnosed, I was having trouble swallowing and a doctor told me it was GERD.  But I was seeing her for something else so it didn't register at the time.

      Thank you Jan! I've been putting my symptoms in a note book so I can show them when I go to the doctor again because maybe I should go..

    Due to some other problems, I don't have a lot of faith in most doctors.  But once in a while you see a good one who gets things right. (Then you move, that's what happened to me).   I hope that things work out for you.
