Acid Reflux and kidney pain

by soldier4428, Aug 31, 2008 06:18AM
i have acid reflux that as of until now has left me alone pretty much . But recently i have been having breathing problem and kidney pains. I have the distinct feeling of a burp in my chest but every time i go to burp it is only acidic vomit. I have also devoloped a sharp pain in my kidneys when i laydown at night which makes it imposible to sleep unless i am sitting up. During all of this my stomach is doing that gasy gurgling. I am just wondering what could be dont to stop the kidney pain.

Maybe it's not kidney but back pain from your gallbladder or even a hiatal hernia.  Ask the medic to order an addominal ultrasound.  This usually shows any stones and is the first step in defining the problem.  Also, they may want to order a HIDA/CCK to more fully evaluate your gall bladder.   The symptoms you have -- gastric reflux (the acidic taste), gassiness and mid to lower back pain is often associated with gastric problems.
