Constant Burping & Churning Stomach

[justme1]

Ok so heres the thing..a few days ago I woke up not being able to catch my breath, this was followed by a series of burps, then I couldn't burp and then I lost my breath again..full circle thing. I took a gavascon and drank some fizzy pop. It helped me to burp but then the circle continued. As the days went on I began having churning feelings in my stomach..I sometimes feel like I need to rush to the toilet but only now and again is it resulting in diarrhea. I'm getting really worried as it seems that I'm still going through the full circle of burping, lost breath, trapped wind and so on. I went to see my doctor who has arranged for blood tests but they are a while away. There is a history of acid reflux andgall bladder stones in my family..the doctor mentioned those two possibilities...has anyone experienced similar things or know a short term cure at least until I get the tests done?

Thanks

My fella had that justme. Doctor's put him on Omeprazole ( or "oh me poor @rsehole " as it's known in our house) to deal with the acid reflux

Your Dr's diagnosis is spot on.......gall bladder problems or acid reflux. Omeprazole should be a good standby until the tests return as suggested by lardhelmet.
