Recommended Posts

Ok here it is...and I have already left a message for my doc too....

still on liquids. last night...2am...bolt upright awake with a SEVERE pain in my stomach. Like, seriously it felt like someone was grabbing the inside of my stomach sleeve and ripping it out. At the same time , I felt burning in my chest area, and tasted what I thought was blood...felt an intense urge to start coughing, but stomach pain was ripping me apart so I was trying to get to toilet.

I sat in front of the toilet thinking I was going to vomit, but the pain was so bad, I got all sweaty and tingly, and felt like the room was spinning, felt like I was gonna pass out! I felt like I couldn't catch my breath for the burning in my chest and tried to cough just a little, which burned like terrible and coughed up what looked and tasted like stomach bile.

I was almost crying, my husband was about to call 911... I kept saying "somethings wrong, somethings wrong" I seriously thought I was gonna die. Then, as quickly as it came on, the pain subsidded. However....I still had the burning in my chest, and now this morning, it still feels tight in my chest and rattly ...

ok, just heard from the doc, they want me to go have a chest xray..

sigh..... nothing can ever go smoothly for me.

Are you on an acid blocker? It sounds like you were having a terrible time with acid.

I am anxious to hear what the dr,. said.

I forgot to take my PPI on Monday and I had an acid attack. It felt like burning in my chest. I hope that is the cause. I am so sorry you are going through this. Let us know what the doctor says. Sending healing wishes your way!

Thank you all...well they did an Ekg, Chest CT, bloodwork...all came back ok. Which bothers me...because it was very very real and very very painful! My self-diagnosis maybe a severe gas pain? then when I sat up I refluxed acid and it burned my chest and throat.... not sure where the blood taste was comeing from though...

Oh well..I'm ok. guess that's all that matters. though I felt like a dummy at the ER.

Hi kindra,

I have been waking up in the middle of the night with burning in my throat from well I think that its that stong yucky yellow bile stuff from my stomach and was wondering if it is the same as what you are getting?

Please let me know

Sounds a lot like when I used to wake up choking and unable to breathe from aspirating stomach acid. Yay, reflux! Thank God that's been totally gone since surgery. NOT fun.

I'm glad to hear you are OK! Did the Dr. prescribe something for the reflux? Just Curious...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
