My most recent complaints are

burning sensation in my stomach.

chest and upper back pain

regurgitating where I fear others can hear it.

pain under right breast and through to back.

Thanks in Advance

    Can I ask- do you feel like this on a daily basis? I have all of those symptoms and also i wake up every single morning feeling horrendously sick until i move around and burp a lot then it eases, but throughout the day i get waves of nausea. Almost just helps to know i am not alone. With Christmas around the corner i just want to be able to eat and feel well.

      What has caused your doctor to send you to a surgeon? My doctor has asked me to stop Omeprazole for 2 weeks so that i can have a h-pylori stool test.
