stomach pains/ulcer?
i am 17 years old and i have had acid reflux for all my life and i used to take nexium for it. but lately i have been getting more than the usual nausea. lately especially i have been getting a sharp shooting pain in my stomach, it feels almost like a stabbing pain. It lasts for only about 30 minutes...but while i have the pain i always get really dizzy and i cannot see what is in front of me. What does this mean?
I'd double check because nexium can cause nausea and stomach pains ! I know what your going through though, i'm 19 and had acid reflux all of my life. I was switched from medication to medication and to me i just felt that the medicines would work for a while then id just get stupid side effects so i just stopped taking them and watch what i eat and i've actually been doing a lot better. Best of luck to you ! I would also get your gallbladder checked as a precaution!
Hi princess204. I am not an expert in this but what you are describing sounds like stomach ulcers. The pain is usually caused by excessive stomach acid irritation. Acid reflux is definately one of the symptoms. Please try drinking fresh as this does much to neutralize the acid and relieve the pains. But please go see your doctor as soon as possible since if left untreated, ulcers can get too serious. Hope this helps you.
