Re: Indigestion-chronic
Shooting yourself will just make an awful mess for someone to clear up, so i wouldn't advise that!! LOL.
I am on omeprazole/losec once a day and i don't feel much better either. I have started eating a low fat diet and that has helped some. I have noticed that some things do trigger it more. But i still wake up with that burning feeling in my neck and stomach. And the pain that i get is that feeling of someone sitting on your diaphragm and you can feel it going into your back. Not nice and it pushes up into your chest too. Drinking water, but i have it like a hot drink straight from the kettle can help with wind. I was told to stay of chewing gum and mints with this diet too, but i find sometimes as they make you burp, this helps. When i lay down in bed at night i feel like someone is sitting on my chest, very uncomfortable and with the burning as well, not nice. I know what you are going through and sympathize with you. But in honesty i cannot get rid of mine either. I am now waiting to be referred for a barium meal but knowing the NHS that will probably take about 3 months to come through and that will be just for the initial appointment!! Waiting, waiting all the time, does my head in.
At least you know you are not on your own in this.x
Oh, by the way, i have been told my a gp that you can still take gaviscon while you are on a PPI, omeprazole/losec or any of the others. It will not affect the medication in any way.x
