Heartburn Sitting
What are the symptoms of a gallbladder going bad?
I have been having problems since at least February and am wondering if it couldbe my gallbladder. I end up having severe pain right under my sternum that shoots through to my back. It seems to vary with what I have eaten or drunk through the day...and mostly happens at night, but has happened during the day. I also have horrible heartburn, feels like some one is sitting on my chest and feel like I could vomit at any moment....any ideas as to what could be going on?
gall bladder symptoms:
The symptoms of most types of gallbladder disorders are similar. Pain is usually intense and sudden, starting in the upper right abdomen and radiating to the right shoulder blade. The pain may come and go, and onset is often after a rich meal. Other symptoms include nausea and vomiting, fever and chills, and jaundice. See your healthcare provider if you have sharp persistent pain in the abdomen. He or she must rule out other causes that need immediate treatment. For example, the appendix is also on the right side of the abdomen. It is lower than the gallbladder.
Ulcer symptoms(H. Plyori)
Abdominal discomfort is the most common symptom. This discomfort usually
* is a dull, gnawing ache
* comes and goes for several days or weeks
* occurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal
* occurs in the middle of the night (when the stomach is empty)
* is relieved by eating
* is relieved by antacid medications
Other symptoms include
* weight loss
* poor appetite
* bloating
* burping
* nausea
* vomiting
Some people experience only very mild symptoms, or none at all.
Emergency Symptoms
If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor right away:
* sharp, sudden, persistent stomach pain
* bloody or black stools
* bloody vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
They could be signs of a serious problem, such as
* perforation—when the ulcer burrows through the stomach or duodenal wall
* bleeding—when acid or the ulcer breaks a blood vessel
* obstruction—when the ulcer blocks the path of food trying to leave the stomach
Hiatial Hernia
Typical symptoms are heartburn and belching. One may have a burning taste in the mouth. Sometimes spitting up food occurs when the stomach is full. This may be more common at night. There may be a sense of food being stuck on its way down. This symptom may also be a symptom of esophageal cancer and should be evaluated by your healthcare provider.
the reason I put all of these symptoms down is because sometimes you can be misdiagnosed. I was in fall of '99 the doctors said my gallbladder was bad. It turned out after several months of pain and testing I had the H. Polyri ulcer. It was horriable. I was never a small woman but in 4 months I lost 45 lbs and went from size 12 to a size 3. You was also was able to see every bone in my body because I have a large frame. My advice is to go to a doctor fast if you are having any of these symptoms.
Natural Treatments for Acid Reflux Commonly Called Heartburn
Finding natural treatments for acid reflux, commonly called heartburn is not that hard to do. At least finding temporary relief is not that hard to do. GERD is a problem that affects over 60 million people every day and can be a very serious health problem so let me encourage you to check with your health care professional to make sure that it has not gone too far.
Let me give you a quick run down on some foods to avoid to help eliminate some of your heartburn. As I sit drinking my morning cup of coffee I am reminded that caffeine is one of the culprits that relaxes the sphincter muscle that blocks the acid form entering the esophagus. So try to cut back on how much caffeine you drink. Talking about drinking did you know that alcohol also relaxes the check valve between the stomach and esophagus thus causing acid reflux. Tomatoes and tomato dishes can also cause these burning sensations that tend to take our minds off of everything but the pain. You should also keep track of what foods you eat that seem to cause heartburn for you and cut back or eliminate them.
Once you have that burning sensation in your chest and throat area there are a couple of natural treatments for acid reflux and heartburn sitting in your refrigerator. For immediate relief grab your teaspoon and fill it up with apple cider vinegar and drink it down. Any vinegar will work but the apple cider seems to taste the best and that is not so tasty. Perhaps drinking vinegar does not appeal to you then try a teaspoon of yellow mustard its main ingredient is vinegar.
