Upper Stomach Bloating, What is This?

[Miss_Gee]

For some time now I've been experiencing upper stomach bloating and it's become agonizing, and very annoying. It effects all aspects of my life and sometimes I think I'll never feel normal again. It's in the center right in between my ribcage. It causes me severe anxiety but I have been presecribed medicine to treat it. I still don't feel comfortable though. Can my pancreas be inflammed? For how long does this last? And what should I do about it? I'm only 18 years old, I've had Bulimia for almost two years and I know this could be a possible cause. I did visit my doctor several times, they took X-rays of my chest, an EKG, got my blood drawn and everything turned out normal. Someone please help!

Thanks for the responses!

As for the Gallstones, my doctor told me I had none. She said they are functionally at a normal size. Previously, my pancreas was inflamed but it's been almost three weeks since that happened, I also had medicine to treat it as well but it doesn't seem to be working as much as I want it to. Can this be something else? Physically, I really don't feel like myself anymore. I need help so badly! I have an appointment with my physician this upcoming next week, Friday. I just don't want to live my life feeling so uncomfortable!

Also check into a Hiatal Hernia.

Check out info on your gallbladder.Gallstones can be caused due to rapid weight loss. There is alot of info on this problem. Your symptoms could fit that criteria. just a thought. Did you get a HIDA scan for gallbladder function?? Good luck.
