So since Oct 2009 Ive been dealing with this heart burn sensation on and off, Ivd tried everything in the book, changed my diet since Ive gained some weight Ive been doing my share of exercising, tried over the counter and prescription meds as well for the pain and heartburn. The last 2mos have been horrible landed in the ER twice already with shortness of breath from the pain and was prescribes Percocet(which make me feel out of whack) I was told to go back to my dr which I did but she cant figure out what is wrong with me. I have horrible epigastric pains, im starting to get a really raspy sounding voice at times,coughing more than usual, extremely fatigue no energy what so ever to do anything, i just dont feel myself. My dr believes it can be gastritis, gallstones(which i know i have diag when I was pregnant about 31/2 yrs ago) or GI. What i dont get is why they are making me wait so long to get any sort of treatment to make the pain go away. I went for a upper GI xray just yesterday and my dr said it would take awhile to get the results but i cant take this pain any longer. can some one please HELP!!!
