acid

[smiths]

has anyone that has had indgestion problems and acid had a tight chest with this ?
i have a burning just under my ribs and tight chest but not constantly

[laineylouise]

Yes! I have that thing right now.

But i also have a very evil stomach ache lol that feels like acid burning away at my insides! Lol.

It sounds perfectly normal to me, like heartburn, something you need Gaviscon for :P

yeah i get that burning feeling 2 thanks for the reply

I know how u feel

i get it ALL the time, only i found out what was causing mine was actually a hiatus hernia.

if ur really worried see ur gp n they may put u on a tablet foe acid reflux.

i am currently takin tablets for acid reflux and yes i still get heartburn etc but its not as chronic and bad as it used to be.

hope this helps

yeah thanks stargate i will see the doc i just got really worried cos i couldnt see how indgestion and acid could make your chest tight

ah

ive got a sliding hiatus hernia which im told can cause that so thats what u may have.

it took 6 months for me to find it out as they thought it was my gallbladder to begin with.

but best to get it checked as it may be something to do with acid reflux disease (dnt wory its controllable)

let us all know how u get on with everything


p.s. indegestion n heartburn can make u think ur having a heart attack, if u need help just say the word n a can ask my mum as she is a registered nurse :).

hi guys,

i asked my mum about this (shes a nurse lol), and she says it can really be either, acid reflux, hernia or gallbladder trouble. either way she said to get checked out :)
