Suggest Cure For Chronic Indigestion

I have been feeling unwell for the past few months, I am 48yrs old , female and going through the change. My symtoms include Chronic indigestion, acid in stomach, it has now got to the stage that I cannot eat solids as the pain is intense, I feel as though I have something stuck in my throat and pain is worse when I try to eat, my kidney region is sore , I have stomach cramps, and feel sick all the time, plus I feel as though my body is overheating.I also feel feel exhausted and out of breath most of the time. The doctor checked and I was sent for test at the hospital to see if problems caused by fibroids, but tests clear, I then asked my doctor to do a blood test to see if my iron levels were low. The results from my blood test was a red blood cell count of 16.7, which I have been told not to worry about and my doctor has given me a prescription for anti depressants an told me to come back in 4 weeks for another blood test. I just feel i am not getting to the cause of my symptoms, can you help or give me advise please. Christine Wallace

Hello,

Are you diabetic? Alcoholic? Possible causes are like gastritis or infection or peptic ulcer disease or food intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome etc.

Also possible that you may be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome or depressive disorder or hypothyroidism or electrolyte imbalance etc.

Get it done upper GI endoscopy, stool examination, ultrasound abdomen then consult your physician/gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
