Poor Digestion/Dizziness

Poor Digestion/Dizziness

I am having problems, it seems to only occur after meals.  Usually it takes and hour or so but i start getting dizzy and burp up food, for some reason my food is taking a long time to digest and tonight for the first time I started vomitting and felt better afterwards.  I was just wondering if there's any connection here, i know it's not a virus, and I feel like it's partially gas buildup but the poor digestion puzzles me, any information would mean alot for me.

Have you been diagnosed with (Gerd) acid reflux. That is what it sounds like. You may have some type of Fodd,spice, or perservative sensitivity that has developed. Do you eat healthy, oganic foods. if not that would probably help you. One way to find out for yourself if it is a intolorence is the process of elimination. example: dairy products, onions, garlic, etc. intolorence is different from an alergy (allergy) and is harder to pin point and most doctors would rather just give you a pill to bandaid it instead of finding the cause. It wouldnt hurt to get checked out to rule out heart problems but once that has been done. they will just send you to a GI specialist and he will throw the bandaid pills at you. One more thing, if you decide to take the pills, just know that they reduce the acid that your body makes thus messing with its natural functions and you can become dependent on them. thats what they want because they make a profit from your medication dependencey.

think about it. sick people= business= luxurious life style. I'm not saying dont go see a doctor. i'm saying be aware that not all of them are there to help you. those cats knew they would make a fortune if they got in the medical field and noone would do anything about the price gouging that happens there. we complain about the gas prices everyday and with good reason but doctors and hospitals have been doing that much longer and have it down to an art.

Thanks for your comment, and, believe me, I completely agree with your opinion concerning the money scheme.  I have had 3 heart monitors hooked up previously (the ones you wear for 24 hours).  The results showed nothing major wrong with my heart, I have a concave chest and a heart monitor so my heartbeat can be irregular at times.  I take medicine for anxiety and high blood pressure.  I am almost certain that this is GERD, I have always had problems with acid reflux but was never diagnosed.  I have began taking Zantac and it seems to be helping me, though some constipation is occurring, I am not having the bad dizzy spells as much.  For someone who is only 24, I have inherited a buttload of problems and it does bother me that I am dependent on so much medication, but I am just striving to live a normal lifestyle.  Thanks for the feedback.

those problems you've inherited could possibly be a simple fix if you dig a little deeper. good luck.
