Hi everyone I have a couple of questions I've had chest pain and upper back pain after i eat I'm thinking it might be heartburn because it only happens after I eat but lasts forever like hours and I occasionally take ibuprofen and I take Zolpidem or "Ambian" to help me sleep could this be causing a heart problem? Just curious

I would def ck with your Dr to be on safe side. Might be gas or acid. I also take ambien with no stomach upset. Do you take Prilosec or something similar ? Good Luck to you

Nope I've never been diagnosed with acid reflux

Plz contact md better safe then sorry

This is defiantly something to talk to your doc about. I don't think we are supposed to take Ibuprofen after surgery for pain, so that could be making the matter even worse. Tylenol is the over the counter med for pain. It does sound like it is gas or indigestion or something but your doc can give you something for that,.

I sure hope we can take ambien after surgery because I have horrible insomnia and I depend on the ambien nightly. And even with it it takes several hours to go to sleep and I don't sleep for very many hours.

Hope You find out what is wrong, I have had that feeling with the band and I know it is miserable.

Definitely stop taking Ibuprofen. No NSAIDS after surgery. They are hard on your stomache and can lead to ulcerations in your pouch.
