here's my symptoms, can you advise?

Hi!  I am having alot of nausea and upper g.i. discomfort.  I have been on Pepcid for quite a while and now they have added prilosec too for acid reflux.  It's worse than ever.  When I'm not nauseated (which is rare), I have what feels like a hard irritated lump in my esoph? gallbladder? stomache?  Sometimes burns and I belch loudly and frequently.  Feels like lots of air and liquid are in there.  Tired all the time.  Feel run down and kind of weak.  Get short of breath easily.

 

Any ideas? 

 

Thank you for your time!

Dear Paula,

I am sorry to hear your digestive system is misbehaving. It sounds like you have consulted the doctor and received some medication to try. Since the medication is not reducing or eliminating the symptoms, it is important to return to the doctor for further consultation. Perhaps you will need to see a GI specialist.

I encourage you to keep looking for answers.
