Hi there i am 15 and i have seen several doctors about my chest. Ive had an EKG, Chest X-Ray, Blood work in which all came back perfectly fine. I am a female. All of the doctors said i have severe anxiety. But however my abdomin hurts when i eat. So far every night and alot of the dy i feel like its VERY hard to breathe. Its constant and however does not stop i do not know what could be causing it. Uhmm i go to the doctor again February 17 should i do something. They said i might have some GERD but im taking antacids and they however arent working niether is the ibuprofen. Im currently taking melatonin to sleep. Please help me!!!!!!
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Yes, it does look like herd....and antacids won't help you with that...you need to start on a combination of a PPI and levosulpride... PPI to reduce the acid production and the latter to prevent reflux...also you need to avoid tea, coffee, soda Chat Doctor. . Also eat small and frequent meals and don't lie down for an hour after a meal...while sleeping put two pillows below your head....and finally get an endoscopy done to confirm herd and rule out hiatus hernia...
