I have already been to the doctor so please don’t say go there. Anyway I have this really bad cough that isn’t from a cold. (i.e. no signs of a cold) My doctor prescribed a nasal spray, an inhaler and an antihistamine because he says it looks a lot like allergies but it might be something other than allergies. I think it might be something different. The reason I think this is because I cough so hard that I throw up. I have even thrown up blood a couple of times. I am a little worried because I really don’t know what is going on. I have to reschedule my doctors appointment because I haven’t gotten any better. Is it possible to have an ulcer and not know it or have acid reflux or heartburn and not know it?
That is the thing I am taking Zyrtec. He thinks the cause is from drainage, but even still…the throwing up is what is throwing me off. I haven’t eaten anything unusual. And it’s not an everyday thing. It’s just really weird.

hey all. For the past 5 days I’ve have hade really intense chest pains. The pains are usually in the center of my chest (like exactly in the middle) It feels like someone is sitting on my chest or I’ve gotten something stuck in my throat. The pain sometimes radiates from my arm to my jaw to my back. I also get sharp pains on the left side of my chest including my under arms and ribs!!!!!! Again this has been constant non-stop for 5 days. I’ve been to the doctor and the ER within the 5 day span and both sent me away saying its anxiety. I’ve had stress tests, EKG’s chest x-rays and a few other tests in the past and all are fine. Noone has an answer to what i have. Please help me!! I honestly feel like im going to die. P.S my doctor says its probably not gerd because the pressure and length of pain im describing do not coincided with gerd

Okay, I’ve had my first bout of heartburn/acid reflux. I’ve had it for 3 days now & it is very annoying.

I’ve been avoiding spicy, hot foods, soft drinks & dairy products as well. I’ve been drinking hot peppermint tea & room temp. water.

I don’t like taking medicine, but I have been taking Alka-Seltzer plus to relieve the discomfort.

It goes away then comes back, I’m really concerned, this is very new to me…. I eat right & exercise regularly, what gives?

Should I see a doctor asap?

Thanks.

I woke up naturally this morning and suddenly I had a very bad heart burn. I couldn’t breathe or sit up, and every time i breathed out it felt like id snap something. It was so bad (maybe it wasn’t heartburn?). But only for 3 minutes? What is this?
My diet is stable I haven’t changed anything about it

my son is currently on nutramigen which he was doing great on but it seems like his colic is back and in treatment for gerd but now it seems he is red especially around the eyebrows and cannot be consoled I dont believe he is teething and cant figure out what to do

Since my husband was diagnosed as having diabetes type 2, he’s been advised to add an aspirin a day to his usual medication. Since doing so, on occasion just before sleep ends up with chronic heartburn / indigestion? He describes it as a burning sensation at the back of his throat and only subsides when he manages to ‘belch’. Any ideas please?

My cycles are usually 31 days long. My last period started on the 5th. I had intercourse at least every other day, if not, more on all of the days surrounding when I could have ovulated, somewhere around 9/22. We don’t use protection or pull out.

That being said, I was feeling a little queasy and very lightheaded for the last few days… It eased when I ate something.

The last few days I have had heartburn for the first time ever and the foods I have been eating are not greasy or acidic. Today, I had heartburn lasting at least an hour after eating a ham and cheese sandwich.

My period isn’t due for a couple days so I was just wondering what everyone thought until I am able to take a test. I know if I’m not pregnant, my period will be late this month because I don’t have any cramps and don’t feel bloated.

At times, I think my areolas are darker but then I become convinced that I am probably overreacting. I haven’t gained any weight and I’m not overweight so I can’t see any reason why I could be having so much heartburn. I read that pregnancy can cause heartburn as early as the first trimester but usually not until the second.

The last couple of times we had intercourse, I had some lower abdominal cramping during and after orgasm but not at any other time and have not had it since.

Any thoughts?
Also I have been tired all the time since about a week to two weeks ago. Sometimes I have wierd sensations in my pelvis, I dunno if thats related to this or if Im just getting paranoid but thanks in advance.

I took penicillin(last pill 3 june) for some teeth infections I supposedly had & then got 2 tooth extractions(i didn’t want root canal)(June 7) then i got my period(June 17 for 8 days normal for me) & then diarrhea all of this I believe might have caused me to loose weight? I have had diarrhea for a week now & heartburn & bubbles in my stomach but not really any p. I don’t even have bloody stools & yesterday I only did number 2 once. My normal weight is between 125(if i workout) -130 I weigh 122.8 but weight changes when I have a lot of water or food in me but once I go to the bathroom I loose the weight. This is freaking me out but people keep telling me it is normal & I will gain my weight back. I am not sure if all of the above caused it including the penicillin? I planned on go in to urgent care but don’t know what they will even do to help. ; ( My aunt said she had diarrhea for 15 days! I am not loosing more weight but it is still freaking me out. : ( I don’t have any other symptoms other than the ones mentioned & all of this just happened this month. I am drinking a gallon of water per day & trying to eat the right foods blended & staying indoors & resting.
Thank you

From what I have read, it appears that it is. I have had diarrhea for just over 24 hours and since I recently (about two weeks ago) started taking generic pepcid for GERD my first thought was that that would be the cause. So, then my question is, as a side effect will it be a continuous thing and not go away? Should I stop taking the pepcid and try to get an alternative from my doctor or will an alternative have the same effect?
