Argh it huuuuuuurrrtttts. Since 3pm I have been in a lot of pain. Bloated, gassy, pain at top if stomach. I ate shiloads a bit of chocolate ganache, left over from our diy choc truffles for our local come dine with me that we came last in so truffles pointless bitter .

I had omeprazole at 4, paracetamol at 5, been sick, no food, cup of tea felt ok, water at 9 (pain!!!) gaviscon at 10 and more paracetamol. It is awful. Nothing helps.

What can I do? I desperately need sleep but can't. : (

They were not bitter, I am.

I feel lightheaded and a bit floaty with pain.

Argh

Bloody hell that doesn't sound normal even if you did over eat it would have all gone through your stomach by now.

I would sip on milk or very milky tea and sleep propped up on pillows. Only sip though nothing near a full cup.

Some people find milk helps, I think.

Are you sure though you're not having a heart attack?

misspollysdolly · 27/05/2012 22:29

Gallstones...?! This pain doesn't sound like just 'normal' indigestion...!

FrumpyPumpy · 27/05/2012 22:31

Had some milk, no better. Before that was throwing up bile so stomach empty. Kept mill down though.

I have been getting trapped wind more frequently since pregnant with DD (11mo). But never lasts this long.

I am so desperate for sleep. Been in bed since 7, DD now crying but can't even think about lifting.

Honestly that sounds like gallstones. I had my gallbladder out two weeks ago and pain was exactly as you describe. Take co codamol if you can. Plump.yourself up on cushions. If it gets too bad go to a and e but make drs appt. Certain food used to set mine off and apparently pregnancy can cause the
m (mine was caused by excessive weight loss)
Check if your wee is dark it poo light and floats. If you start going yellow go to drs ASAP.

I hope you are ok.

Near enough same as me. If you did it in a short amount of time it could be that. Apparently if you eat v low fat the bile doesn't have anything to absorb into so lingers and becomes stones. It does sound like them. As long as your g.bladder isn't infrcted they may well just laser them it give you tablets to sort it out. Mine nearly ruptured and so I was an emergancy op but I'm a rarity apparently. I know how bad the pain is. I was sick, passed out etc from it so I feel v sorry for you. Just make sure you make drs appt. X

I get bad indigestion pain too so it is possible it is that. All that helps me is a ht water bottle held over my stomach. It will pass but be gentle on your tummy for a few days.

FrumpyPumpy · 27/05/2012 23:05

Thank you so much everyone. Will definitely call dr.
