Hi,
I have had 4 bouts of what I thought was extreme heartburn over the last few weeks. Yesterday it happened again and the pain was on a par with labour, so I went to the doc. He suspects a stomach ulcer and is sending me for blood tests and an abdominal scan this week to investigate.
Just wondering if anyone else has suffered the same thing and what treatment they found to be effective. I don't drink or smoke and eat well, but am very anxious (have had CBT for this) so am assuming this is a major factor. I was prescribed co-codamol for the pain yesterday and also omeprazole, but one or the other caused me to vomit and feel very spaced out, so am keen to hear of what has been helpful to others.
Thanks, feeling quite sorry for myself as it is grim.
