Severe Indigestion Galbladder Or Osephagitis Coffee And Sausage Roll Eaten

[gordiescotland1]

I am not sure whether I have had a gallbladder attack or osephagitis. I was walking through town and I thought I was having a heart attack. The pain went up into my chest and into my back in between my rib cage and the left hand side at the back. I got a taxi home and I had 4 teaspoons of gaviscon 2 paracetemol 2 windeze tablets and an omeprazole and guess what it is cured!! I have been under a lot of stress recently not sure if that is what has caused it I had a filter coffee at a friends this morning and then went out and had a sausage roll pastry and last night I had macaroni cheese made with full fat cheese. Before the attack I did have pain on both left and right side under the ribcage so I was thinking it might be gallbladder related had a scan a few months ago and no stones. It seemed to come in spasms and waves but I honestly thought it was a heart attack.

I am pleased to hear you are better now, must have been scary. I sometimes get an awful indigestion pain if I drink hot coffee. I narrowed it down by elimination and avoid drinking it too hot now. Hope it doesn't happen again for either of us !

I used to get indigestion and my symptoms were similar to yours. Always triggered by stress.

Sounmds like indigestion I get it. You know the solution look out for the triggers, you had a lot of them in a short space of time.

I would be concerned about the amount of antacids you are taking in one go.

Be careful too many can upset the stomach lining.

You don't have to have gall-stones to have a gall-bladder problem.

Stay away from food-stuffs which you know trigger your attacks.....whatever these attacks may be.

[cazzz1975]

ive had indigestion and trapped wind and it can be really really painful

[ummmm]

Very painful.

yes, quite a few people dial 999 every year because they think they are having a heart attack and its trapped wind and or indigestion.
A coffee and sausage roll sound like the perfect recipe for painful indigestion. especially if you ate it quickly and took exercise straight afterwards.

Yes, like you , I thought I was in trouble when the pain happened to me . Such acute sharp pain and I had nothing to ease it. After about twenty minutes it subsided and left me wondering what had happened ! Awful pain. Because I am a numpty I had it again before I twigged what was triggering it.
