excessive burping..
my 29 year old daughter has had all the testing....and everything has come back normal. but she has excessive burping...  
   
she is on nexium and it's somewhat better..but she has pain above her heart...and burps all the time...   
   
she's cut out soda.... doesn't eat after 7pm... no spicy foods..  
small meals through out the day..  
   
she's down to 115 pounds...and feels terrible. the doctors must think it's "all in her head"..but something is not right...  
   
   
any ideas?
i am 26 years old and have the same problems, i have had all the testing, let me know what you hear.thanks!
she might be depressed. judicious low dose treatment might help her.... and you. see a geriatrician. you shoud take to her pediatrician or er, she might need chest x ray just to make sure there is no fraction, give her tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain, ice the sure bruised area until she gets cheched. i hope she feels better soon. good luck. see more... I think many of us have to depend more on observation and self-study than on diagnoses, given the expense of testing and the ugly fact that nothing short of an autopsy can give certainty. Here’s how we are coping with that uncertainty. Before my Mom came to live with us, she had fallen at night going toward the bathroom in her apartment. It was 3 days before anyone found her, and there was severe dehydration and some brain damage due to oxygen starvation. She recovered some functioning in rehab, but we had also noticed before the fall that there were more and more signs of cognitive decline. We were warned by a friend who is a geriatric psychologist to not accept the overall “Alzheimer’s” diagnosis which was bound to occur, but to be aware that there were dozens of dementias, some of which needed very different approaches from what is advised for Alzheimer’s. After she got out of rehab she went through a very bad AL situation and into a very good one. She had a GP who made housecalls but was not that knowledgeable about dementia. She had begun describing what could only be hallucinations and agitation, so her doctor put her on an anti-psychotic, an anti-anxiety and a depression medication. Wow! What a mess! Mom had rarely even taken an aspirin before that so maybe her body was super-responsive to the invaders. Anyway, it did more damage than good, and once we eliminated the meds, she slept all the time. We decided to move her in with us and her new doctor prescribed Namenda. We started with 10 mg, which was too much and increased her agitation. We cut back to 5 mg. once a day at nighttime and it was like a miracle occurred! Now don’t get me wrong, there’s still dementia and it’s still advancing. But my point is that sometimes when you don’t have a diagnosis, it’s useful to read up on the various kinds of dementias, do a checklist of the symptoms to determine which is the best match to the behaviors you are seeing, then become knowledgeable about the various RX’s physicians are likely to try, and get very good at monitoring the response to each and asking about/suggesting others you’ve read about. (I know, you thought that was what doctors did — me, too! Wrong!). I found that as long as I behaved as a fairly well-informed and non-judgmental problem-solving partner (and not as an over-protective, aggressive, critical, and sometimes hysterical relative), I got the same treatment back from the doctors. (Of course, if I did not get that, I did not hesitate to find a doctor with an attitude that worked better for us.). Over time, the troubles with balance, the hallucinations that occur immediately if she misses a dose of Namenda, the depth perception, the amount of activity and conversation that goes on while she’s “sleeping”, the extreme variability from “almost normal” to “almost unable to function”, etc. convinced me it is LBD. It’s not a formal diagnosis because we can’t afford all that testing either. But it’s enough for me to protect her from getting inappropriate medications. While there may come a time to move her to a memory care unit, I will also be able to be proactive with staff about what works with her LBD that is probably vastly different from what works with some of their ALZ patients. Summary: observe, study, and use your best and most loving judgment, with or without a diagnosis. Respect but don’t worship the doctors who are trying to help. And trust your gut. You spend more time with your LO than anyone else and your observations are valuable. congratulations on your third baby! i did not have the test but at my 20 week ultrasound we found out that our daughter had spina bifidia! i do know that a good percentage of those test are a false positive so i know it is hard to not freak out! try to wait till you have all the test done! spina bifidia/ neural tube defect is not a death sentence, it has a set of challenges but my daughter is a very happy normal almost 7 year old! we were apart of the moms study and had inutero surgery at 25 weeks! there are a few groups on facebook that are all people with sb or parents of kids with sb! feel free to check them out and ask any more questions! they are united by spina bifida and spinia bifida fetal surgery! i can add you to the group if you are interested! i will be praying for you and your baby! constipation tops the list.......depending on your age and pmhx other things will come into play. it is ok as long as she is not overheated and no fever but be sure she isn't over dressed. see more... hello,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i understand your concern.
see as you said, your mother is suffering from active tb (tuberculosis), tb in the child should also be ruled out first.
it may be just pneumonia, but tb should be ruled out with some more investigations mentioned below.
is the child gaining weight adequately? what is her present weight?
was bcg (bacillus calmette-guerin) given at birth? when was your mother diagnosed and when tb treatment started? there are a number of possible reasons, but narcolepsy may well be what you have. you need to get a set of sleep tests (it takes about 24 hours in a sleep laboratory). then a proper diagnosis can be made, and all of the conditions can be treated.<br><br>you really need help asap. if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... Hi Karina,



Brain hemorrhage can cause various disorders, usually severe because the brain is the center of control of all functions of the human body. Symptoms vary, depending on which part of the brain is affected and its severity. Usually people who experience it will experience disturbance of consciousness.



People whose consciousness is not perfectly aware cannot be given food directly by mouth because they can choke. Food or fluids can enter the lungs and can cause shortness of breath, infection and even death. Brain hemorrhage can also cause swallowing muscles. Usually when treatment will be given liquid nutrition through the hose, and nutrition has been adjusted to age, weight and other disorders that require adjustments to nutritional needs. Usually an IV will be given as an addition to fluids, electrolytes, minerals and as a way to put drugs.



The sound that arises may be the sound of motion of the digestive tract, or it could be because in the digestive tract there is a pile of air, usually people who lie down long and do not move prone to bloating. If there are no other complaints about this and food can enter according to instructions without vomiting up, you don't need to worry.



Brain hemorrhage is a severe disorder, especially if it is suffered by the elderly. Even so keep positive thinking and follow the instructions of the treating doctor because of course he is most aware of the condition of your relatives.
