Hi everyone. I've had problems with GERD lately and am on my third med for it within 3 weeks (finally some Nexium!). During the past couple of days my stomach feels harder than usual. I'm also not hungry much and eating less makes me more full. I'm told that this is bloating/gas.. I've never really had it before. My clothes fit ok. I only notice it when I press down while standing up.. maybe it's always felt that way, who knows.. but when I sit down I don't really feel the hardness... maybe a little near the upper part of the stomach. I feel a little sore if I breathe deeply, particularly afer eating. It doesn't really hurt unless I press fairly hard near the top of my stomach (which is probably swollen and who else knows what from the GERD). Has anyone experienced this? Can someone reassure me? Thanks.

Don't forget that if you have acid in there, it could be slightly inflammed, therefore causing the discomfort when you press.
