what can i do about this? going to lose weight without trying ere!

[cheeryface]

since being a teenager i have been quite prone to indigestion. I assume thats what it is anyway, it feels like a pain right in the middle of the chest.

for a whole week now, an hour or so after every meal i have had it. i have only been eating very small portions because of it.

last wednesday i was in agony to the point where i thought actually i'm probably having a heart attack. not that anyone took any notice!

i have tried andrews salts and various other potions to no avail.

u need to go docs and get some zoton, sounds very much like u have a hitus hernia

I had this since teenager (though better now usually). It's reflux iirc. I thought I was dying - was very melodramatic teen at time.

What kind of foods are you eating/what are you drinking? Certain foods/drinks can make it worse.

Gaviscon is the only thing that works for me - great big bottle of the liquid.

If it's getting this bad and you can't find anything to help it may be worth a trip to the gp.

beat me to it loopy!

Have you tried being tested for food allergy?

gaviscon is good, but it sounds like you need to see the doc if the pain is that bad. My dad had this, thought he was having a heart attack, went to hospital and they gave him morphine! They also gave him very strong gaviscon type concoction apparently.

i'm just eating what i always eat. last wednesday came on really suddenly a couple of hours after eating some coleslaw and it was absolute agony.

since then it's been milder but like i say i've not ate much
