I'm and female and i've had so many problems with my stomach since taking strong perscribed Ibuprofen for bad back pain when i had a bad few weeks of IBS. I started getting this burning/achy feeling in the middle inbetween my belly button and breast bone, then i got this horrible sorethroat with a fullness feeling in my throat, then a few days later along came really bad hiccups and belching, then heartburn. So i went to the docs and she said that i've irritated my stomach lining from the Ibuprofen so she gave me Anacids to help. Since then (which was 3 months ago now) the feeling has been on and off with constant hiccups and nausea after i eat sometimes. I did have a bout of discomfort a few weeks ago, which the whole left to middle section of my abdominal area was really tender and achy, and i had hiccups but i can't remember if i was stressed around that time. That calmed down after a week so i went back to the doctor and asked whats going on she said it's proberbly your Gastritis and because i've been non stop stressed really hasn't helped she said stress can irritate Gastritis or the area which the stomach is irritated. I also suffer from Constipation which doesn't help. I've had it again for a few days but i think constipation and stress has triggered it and it gets worse when i'm hungry i've noticed and i think i'm getting slight indigestion with it. But i'm getting an ultrasound soon because last time i had the bad bout i also got sharp right lower pains on and off where my gallbladder is which she said could of been a gallstone that might just pass through or somthing like Pancreatitis, but she said it's more than likely the Gastritis.
Sometimes when i press that middle upper abdominal area it's tender, is that normal?
My stomach also gets quite rumbly and spasmy and i can feel like a popping sensation in my stomach area too (over reacting stomach acid?)
I would of thought if it's something serious the discomfort would of got alot worse by now since it's been 3 months right?
Does this sound like Gastritis?
If one area of my stomach is irritated that means that area will be always or for a while be senstive to whatever could trigger a mild Gastritis attack?
I'm really confused.
Thanks .x.
