These symptoms may not ally immediately after giving up smoking so you will have to be patient. Either way, you should consult with a doctor to verify that there are no other serious pathologies that you may be missing. Hi Myc

Some how they seem to be related along with stiff neck and shoulder tension. I am a smoker and I'm just wondering if that might be the cause. I have tried going without smoking for weeks but I still experience the same symptoms. I am not sure if this will just go away or if I should seek medical attention. Hi,

The acid rising up the food pipe can cause pain, burning or the feeling of pressure on the chest and since a Rolaid is assisting him to some extent, it is obvious that it is acid, unless he is passing out gas as a burp. Your doctor may consider putting your husband on a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) which will reduce his gastric acid production. This should help but a PPI needs to be taken constantly as prescribed by your doctor and is not only for use when the symptoms arise. Hi Sherry

I was worried that it was heart related, so our family doctor ordered tests and cardiograms and found his heart to be fine. It comes on so fast that he wakes and sits up. He sweats, then gets chills. Usually, a Rolaid soft chew will give him some relief. We don't eat anything after 9 in the evening and sometimes the gas pressure doesn't come on until 3 - 5 am. He takes no medications for anything. ??????? My husband wakes up during the night with severe gas pressure in his chest.

I don't smoke and I drink maybe 2 glasses of wine per week. 2. Do you feel urging to pass stool a short while after eating? No. I really only have to go in the morning right after I wake up a few times and that is usually it for the day. 3. Are you undergoing any stressful episode in your life or are you the high strung ‘type A’ personality? Life is pretty stress free for me. I work at home with my husband so life is pretty easy. I started taking swedish bitters on Saturday and the bloat seems to be subsiding a bit. I am hoping it will continue to diminish. I have been burping more and seeming to be relieving some of this bound up gas and I am not sure if that is because of the bitters. Could mono have disrupted my digestive system? My appetite is pretty poor. Hi, Thanks for your response.

First, did you have urea breath test for Helycobacter pylori, or this was checked during colonoscopy? H. pylori is a common cause of burping in people with GERD. Homsip,

Instead I got rapid heart rate, low grade fever and fatigue. After about 2 months the high heart rate subsided and soon after I started to bloat after eating. I wake up with a semi flat stomach and then every time I eat my belly grows and grows. At night while in bed in the early hours of the morning my stomach frequently gurgles with gas. Every morning when I wake up I immediately have 1-3 bowel movements and then I start my day of having a huge belly again. Sometimes my stool has mucus. I have had a CT scan with normal results and all blood work is ok (CBC and CMP). Urine check was ok. Pelvic ultrasound and all ovarian cancer stuff was ok. Pap was ok, Pelvic ok. I went to a gastro doctor and was brushed off. Suggested lactose intolerance but I have tried going without that and no change. Have tested negative for celiac and also have avoided gluten just to be sure. Have also eliminated soy and have been taking probiotics for 2 weeks all without any results. Have tried digestive enzymes too! I am 32 and I am sick of being sick! Please help! In July of this year I got mono and didn’t have sore throat/gland issues or a high fever.
