41 year old male, 6'7" 300lbs. Have had face flushing problem for 5 or 6 years. At the point now that my face is red all the time but gets worse at times. Have had upper left chest pain on and off for several years so severe at times I thought I was having a heart attack! I've had every test you can have for my heart except the heart catheter test. All test show no heart problems. Suffered from gouit about 3 years ago but stay under control if I take alluipurinol. Had gallbladder removed oct. 2010. Still having some pain in right side but not as often as I did before my gallbladder was removed. I have drank to much over the years but have cut way back in last year. Resently had stomach scoped and dr. Said my lining was red and inflamed so he put me on a pump inhibitor pill. My question is could my flushing and pain in side be caused by inflamed stomach lining? Has this been the cause of my flushing all these years and could this have been causing the pain in my chest ? Could my face have gotten so flushed for so long that it will never recover?
