What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen With Lot Of Burping And Flatulence?
I went into the er last month cuz I thought I was having a heart attack they did all the tests ekg blood stress test and said I wasn't having a heart attack they gave me prilosec And cosaar. I still felt bad and they took more blood tested for glucose thyroid and cholesterol. Thyroid was good glucose was 101 cholesterol not so good overall 207 hdl 26 ldl 133 triglyceride's 239 . I have an appointment with my doctor but the soonest they can see me is in a month every two days I feel a sharp pain go through my chest I get light headed and dizzy I also get this fear like I'm going to die I go lay down and I start to feel better but I'm wiped out for a day or so just tired and can't do much without just forcing myself. So yesterday I forced myself to get up after a weekend in bed cuz of an attack and now I have a pain just above my stomach and below my ribs and it hurts in the center of my chest call it esophagus when I stand if I lay down all this goes away. Since on the prilosec and cosaar I have been burping a lot and my gas has been horrible and smelly. What is wrong with me I am a male 37 years old and I'm scared I'm going to die from this
