My stomach always hurts! It’s always full of gas. I don’t know how did this come to be because I never skipped meals. I always burp and fart. Sometimes, I am also experiencing chest pain. I was rarely experiencing heartburn before, but it stopped. My appetite also increased.
Could this be GERD or a more serious illness? What should I do?

Visit your doctor. Acid-reflux disease produces heartburn, nausea, regurgitation, and yes, even chest pains. Often the related chest pains can mimic the symptoms of angina. Sounds like this could easily be your problem and there is no need to suffer. There are several meds such as, Nexium that are very effective and if left untreated Gerd can cause further damage to the esophagus and more serious complications and disease.
It isn’t just a question of proper diet, that is to follow. Right now, you need the appropriate medication to help heal the damage that is already present in the stomach and esophagus. See your doctor.
Go see a doctor and get a serious check up complete!
The main symptom of GERD in adults is frequent heartburn, also called acid indigestion—burning-type pain in the lower part of the mid-chest, behind the breast bone, and in the mid-abdomen. Most children under 12 years with GERD, and some adults, have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they may experience a dry cough, asthma symptoms, or trouble swallowing.
I had a mild case of GERD and that sounds like what I experienced. What I felt the most was the chest pain which was extreme heart burn. You should make a doctor’s appointment.
sounds like GERD, i have it. because my stomach acid is being produced, it breaks down food faster, so you’re hungrier more often. stay away from acidic foods (orange juice, pepper, oils, fats, tomatoes, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine) and if you do have any, have peppermint tea and lots of tums! stay away from those foods, mostly, and you’ll be fine.
mos def GERD.
Reflux can be caused by a number of different things. Foods that cause gas may be the problem. Could be a germ like pylori. Could be a food upset. Could be internal injury. Well it could be another body system that is causing the problem. I think that a doctor told me that the kidneys make gas for the system. So as the body tried to break down specific foods it makes more gas. Try reading a M-clinc special diet book.
Good luck I have had this problem too.
you may be having dyspepsia which is different from GERD.
GERD is characterized with burning sensation over the upper abdomen that is aggravated by bending, stooping or lying down and can be relieved by taking antacids. sometime regurgitation of food and acid into the mouth can occur. if aspiration into the lungs occur, it can cause lung infection and night cough.
try to avoid spicy and oily food, and have your meal on time. cut down on alcohol or coffee if you take any. you can try to take antacids or some pills that helps in indigestion.
