I have had stomach problems off an on all of my life...I am now 32.  I finally got a doctor to try to solve the problem, and I was told that I have a hiatal hernia and chronic gastritis.  I also found out I have sleep apnea.  I am now on 2 otc Prilosecs a day.  I also take Lisinopril/HCTZ, 20 mg of Celexa, 1 Lodrane, and two otc Dramamine (that if for the nausea).  I stopped taking Ibuprofen over three weeks ago.  I thought things were better, but I have thrown up twice in the last week.  It seems that I get nauseous after most meals.  Most of the time it does not lead to vomiting.  Many times I will wake up at 4 or so in the morning to vomit.  The doctors seems to be at a loss as to what is causing the problems.  Does anyone have any ideas?

I can provide you with information on how you may be able to learn what is causing your digestive problems.I have had GERT for 10 years, and I take Prilosec, 20-mg, a day. I also take Lisinopril that really lowers my blood pressure. Doctors have a tough time diagnosing digestive disorders as Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, says there are 25 digestive disorders , some with similar symptoms. There is a government website  that lists digestive disorders/diseases from A to Z. You can read about Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gastritis, bloating or intestinal gas, constipation, diarrhea. The more information you can learn about these conditions, the better you can talk with your doctor. Go to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov. Click on the Digestion link on the home page, and the next page lists all the disorders.

Good luck.
