[Tsahai]

Hi, I am a 37 year old female, and I suffer, literally, with Gas. I feel like my whole system is filled with gas, I constanly burp, and there is sometimes pressure on my chest. It affects the right side of my stomach and intestines the most. I sometime feel as if I can't breath. almost as if its in my lungs. I rearly get gas pains, just bloating and pressure from my stomach.Also I am always coughing as if there is somthing in my throat. I though it was a nasal drip but I supect its coming from my stomach. Somtimes I am afraid to eat. just so I wont have to got trought a burping ordeal. I do eat well and I stay away from milk and cheese most of the time.I also feel light headed when I am eating somtimes. please help me I am really suffing with this everyday. Is there a cure for this?

The breathing problems can actually be attributed to the burping. When i first started getting sick my stomach over produced acid, and i was burping and while i never tasted nor even elt it there it was causing my throat to close and my chest to tighten. My doctor put me on SOMAC which is designed to help in people who have ulcers and it reduced the amount of burping i did. I took it for 10 days and it helped significantly. It is designed to lower the amount of stomach acid you have and therefore stop in the pressure building up and the burping which i completely get can be sometimes sickening and uncomfortable. My best suggestion is to go to your GP and get them to feel your stomach, to check to see if your bloating or if it is another problem and your gas is ust a side affect, like mine. You will probably find the coughing again is because of acid being burped into your osophogous [ spelling really bad there ] There are quiet a few medications that can be given to help deal with this, but diagnosing the problem is your first step id say. Hope this helps a little bit if at all. Get better soon!!
