Yes, stress definitely aggravates it all as I have just proved to myself today! Horrible experience with a car rolling back into mine and then the driver trying to blame me! He got so aggressive I called the police. Luckily I had a brilliant witness who waited with me until the police came. I have now got the tummy from hell - it's like someone's wedged a football under my ribs and the only relief is from burping! So Kelly, I'm glugging Gaviscon tonight - just wish it was wine. Cheers!!!
Sparkle Mines the same feel like Im wearing something tight and the ache all along the rib line under both boobs
If Im unlucky I get a pain like Ive been stabbed with a knife in between my sternum OH S>>> it hurts like hell
Goes right through to my back it lasts for 5 mins or so SO I cough and belch and the terrible pain goes
But Im left feeling terrified the soreness and ache all along the upper abdo can last for weeks and I belch
I used to say it felt like Id been punched under there its all bruised and in betweeen my shoulder blades ache
That can go on for weeks if I lie down with heat its goes vanishes then I get up and with in 5 mins its there
The ache it used to reach an end with the PAIN then Id bring up acid like there was no tomorrow then itd go
Id be fine for months and months with maybe an odd day or 2 feeling iffy and then fine again BUT now its diff
Thats not happening Im bringing up a wee bit of acid and I get the regurg feeling its like if I could BELCH
Hard enough it would go because the pressure in my sternums as if Ive eaten and its got stuck
Last night I ate 2 slices of toast and sat upright for over 2 hours and no pain came but the aches still there
it makes u feel low and tired and ANGRY but what can you do is it Gastro is it Gall stones?
All I know is that if it was somehting really bad Id be dead by now Ive had this on and off since POstmeno 1998
But the actual attack pain is more sever now still Im luckier than some big hugs xxxxxxxxxxx
