Need some advice. Please

[auggiedoggie12]

I havent been posting on here lately but I need a little hlpe tonight because I NEED to quit worrying about this stomach pain and finish my homework before it gets later than it already is!


I have this really obnoxious pain just underneath my breastbone and its like a bad pain and everyonce in a while it feels liek it is burning. earlier my stomach felt like it was pumped full of air and now I am compleltly freakingout. It started after I went running and then ate a bunch of spicy chinese food. It wasnt fried or anything, it was just stirfry. I thought it might be like heartburn or something, but now im just freakingout becaus it really is botehring me.

It just sounds like a little heartburn and maybe gas.. Possible MSG in the food? Dont worry it wont make you sick, just a little uncomfortable.Do you have any Pepto or something like that? But I am sure it is nothing.. Take some tummy meds if you have some and some tea, then get back to your homework! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Take Care and feel better!

I had a double shot latte, some bread, yogurt, and spicy chinese stir fry today. I have no idea what could have MSG in it. Im kinda freaking out. This isnt a uncommon thing. I get it all the time, when I wake up in the morning my throat is stinging and acidic and i always have heartburn, im only 17. Also on nights like 2nite, i get a sore throat too and my galnds get all big.

It sounds like you have a pretty nasty case of heartburn. I get it too and what usually helps me is Zantac 75 (although now there is that Zantac 150). Try any sort of antacid - Tums or whatever if you don't have Zantac. You should probably go see a doctor if it happens that often. They can prescribe you something to make it much better. My doctor gave me Protonix and it helped a lot. Or try Prilosec OTC - you can buy that anywhere but I think it is a little expensive if you use it regularly.


I hope you feel better soon!

Ok. I have already taken two "fake zantacs" that are the cheap versions and they arent working as wonderuflly as I had hoped. Maybe Im becoming immune to them.

Sometimes Chinese food has MSG, but dont let it worry you.
SillyGirl is right, you should visit the doctors if it is bad and regular. You dont want to suffer if you dont have to. Also, maybe try drinking water or milk to neutalize the acid?? You will be OK..

i cant sleep because i am freakingout, and when I freak out i am probabaly helping the acid produce and i cant calm down, and I really should do this hw but i am unableto concentrate.

I am so sorry that it is upsetting you so much, but I understand what you are going through. I am the same way. Maybe try and pop in your favorite movie, and try to get yourself distracted. That works for me.. Or cleaning up the house, but most people not like that as much. Anything that will keep you busy.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

[blood_tears]

i hope you are feeling better this morning
