indigestion

[choclab]

anyone help , bit worried ,ate a sandwich few weeks back to fast like you do ....was in agony for hours after middle breast bone ..eased as day went on , but over the weekend bad every time i ate ....

Went to docs the following Tuesday , pain eased by then but thought would check , she reassured me all was ok id just prob bruised it and made esofocus sensitive ..

i also prior to thet had all good tests done as a MOT all came back normal , liver kidneys FBC

so off i went ,
now 2 weeks on I'm getting nagging indigestion again , not always but is there after eating from time to time ...back of throat not breast bone ...

just getting myself in knots ....anyone els had similar or advice on how to ease ....
thanks

Is it like acid at back of your throat ? Quite common I think and you can buy Indigestion Relief tablets from all the main supermarkets that are ranatadine - look on packet .
These will help with acid and are cheap at 99p a packet .

If the indigestion goes on for weeks and you have to keep taking the tablets you should go back to GP . They can prescribe omeprazole which is better for some people .

BUT .....if your indigestion goes on for ever ,dont ignore it or think it's trivial ,as it can damage your oesphageous eventually .

If food keeps getting stuck go back to GP and make sure they understand that is what is happening and they should refer you urgently for tests .

hi yes thats it , back go throat acid type feeling ...(worried) no food gets stuck or anything , no cough no trouble swallowing ..i don't smoke , hardly drink , eat on run often as of job ...

i have ben through a bout of anxiety specially on the day i ate and was at its worst ....

i will go back i think ....

thank you for advice appreciated

ok , went back to doctors she was reassuring all was ok and gave me some Omeprazoletablets to try , so will see ,

my anxiety is bad also said this can trigger indigestion to ,
so far today seems to be ok ....

hopefully will continue

Well done choc ,glad you went back .

Omeprazole will sort it ,it's v good IME .!

thanks , I'm a bag of nerves at the moment a lot going on personally this could not be helping ....

but the doc reassured me based on examining me and talking symptoms through ,and the blood test results i had few weeks ago ( all normal) \

so got to try and calm down and feel better , will try tablets in morning

thanks for listening
