Hi, last night I started getting a pain in my chest which I thought was an indigestion. I took some gaviscon and it didn t shift it. As the evening went on the pain got worse and started moving down and into my stomach and my lower stomach. I kept going really hot and cold and the pain will not go away. I woke up this morning and the pain is still there but not as bad. It feels like I have a stitch all over my stomach and hurts when I walk around. I have taken painkillers and liver salt type things and nothing has worked.
Hello, jackiehands90,Your heartburn symptoms suggest that you are sensitive to acid in your stomach. The different types of food and Chat Doctor.  Tomato based products, too much milk (Contains calcium which stimulates acid), caffeine in coffee or tea, alcoholic beverages, all add to the problem. Smoking will make there flux worse because of its effect on the sphincter at the junction esophagus and stomach. If you are not getting relief from taking anti acids such as Davison or Maalox, try taking 15 mg. of Lansoprazole or 20 mg. of Omeprazoleabout an hour before your main meal of the day. If needed you can take it twice a day. If symptoms persist after 4 weeks, I advise you to see digestive disease specialist for further work up. Wish you good health.
