Experiencing Strange Stomach Pain At Night. Feeling Hunger And Burning In Stomach. Have Difficulty In Swallowing. Feels Painful. Cure?
Question: I have been experiencing strange stomach pain at night. It is high above my belly button and radiates into my back. I feel like I am "dying" of hunger, extreme burning in the stomach. I have tried eating something but it just makes me nauseated. I have "extreme" heartburn, when I bend over, when I eat or drink and I'm having difficulty swallowing. It also seems to make my chest hurt, not from the heartburn, but when I am trying to sleep, it wakes me up it is so painful.
I forgot to mention that for some time, maybe 6 to 8 months, shortly after going to bed I wake up with my bladder burning and feeling like it's going to explode. It's not usually full. Just burning inside. I did have a the "sling" surgery about 3 years ago, but I really don't think it helped. I don't know if that is relavent.

Prilosec taken twice daily before food will provide relief.
