Really really afraid

[phobos]

After I got home from my last day of school today, I zapped two hot dogs in the microwave and chowed down. They tasted fine and I was happy.

About 5-10 minutes after I ate them, my inards started making really awful gurgling noises, and I got really bad reflux and gas. I went upstairs and fell asleep, but I woke up two hours later boiling hot and sweating, dry mouth, shakes, the works. And now my stomach is really cramping up and the gas is even worse, and is incredibly painful.

You don't think this could be FP? Or maybe it's just a bad case of indegestion? I'm freaking out.. [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]

I think it's indegestion, you wouldn't have gotten fp right after eating it. It sounds like heartburn/indegestion/acid reflux. Do you have any pepto or whatever the acid reducing stuff is? Also I sometimes wake up feeling worse when I take naps and wake up hot too. That's OK. Oh plus if it is indegestion (which it sounds like) laying down probably made it worse. Take something, sip some water and stay propped up. The first time I got heartburn I FLIPPED OUT and it was right after pizza... a few tums and a lot of being talked down later and I was less scared and started feeling better. Hang in there. It really doesn't sound like fp at all.

yeah, I took some rolaids, hopefully they'll work. I keep getting the need to burp, but I can't, and when I finally do it's only small and I end up with a mouthful of stomach acid

yes I believe it's indegestion, sometimes things don't sit right doesn't mean you have FP and espically with people that emets food doesn't sit well, what really helps me when I get this is soda it brings all the trapped air out when i felt that way I used that and it calm my nervs, and hun one thing it's been really hot where I live mass I'm sure it's pretty hot whereever you live too and when I take naps in the summer time and I get up full of sweat cause of the heat I have bad anxiety thinking I'm sick, I don't think it's food poisoning I think it might be alittle of acid reflux and indegestion, but drink soda it works like a charm makes you burp!

Nah, I seriously doubt hot dogs would cause FP. Probably just a touch of gas and acid reflux issues.

o wow I get that randomly every now and then after eating food too!! I never knew what it was!! wow, its nice to know that is what indigestion is lol.. it's scary, but it usually goes away for me after not too long, espescially if I do something to take my mind off it, like watch tv.
