You definitely need to see your doctor.   These symptoms could be a variety of things, including heart attack as mentioned, but also gall bladder attack, though gall bladder attack doesn't usually last more than an hour or so.  Panic attacks might also be a possibliity.  In any case it is DEFINITELY something not best answered here but at your doctor's office!!!!!!

Seems you're right in diagnosis: stomach ache. The pain in the back where you defined is most likely from your stomach as well. Gastritis is a very common problem in digestive system and the more you take it easy, the shorter the course of pain. After having food, do not lay down until an hour or so is passeed. Avoid acidic and spicy food and also alcohol. Milk, water and simple foods are good for you. Do not get upset! Take AlMg medication after food, and TAKE IT EASY!!

There are so many different things that have the same symptoms that it really makes good sense to see a Dr.  Especially if they last more than a day or so.\nWas there blood in your stool?  Red blood comes from downstream of the stomach, while coffee grounds looking blood comes up in the digestive area.  Blood being digested could easily make you feel sick.\nLow body fluid can lower your temperature and cause cramps.  Since you have been taking medication for excessive stomach acid, probably over the counter, you might have a bleeding ulcer.  A co-worker had one and passed out right in front of me!  It took a blood transfusion to get him going again.  Nothing to fool around about.  Go see a Dr.!

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Call and/or go to your doctor immediately. It could just be anxiety or indigestion, but you want to rule out myocardial infarction aka heart attack. Your doc can usually run a couple simple tests. You need to do so before it's too late. Good luck.

How long has this been going on? If it's just been a few days, it's probably just a stomach flu or something he ate didn't agree with him. If it's been longer than a few days, there may be a medical problem that should be addressed. If this is a chronic problem, he should see a doctor immediately. Possible chronic issues could be Celiac Disease, IBS, intestinal blockage, food allergies...

Why are you on antidepressants anyway?  Could be irritable bowel syndrome.  If you are stressed/depressed you get a whole range of symptoms anyway because of how you're feeling.  I would love to talk to you more about this in detail if you want to email.  I was on citalopram.  I would guess that if you had side affects you would have more likely diarrhoea not cramps but always best to ask the Doctor.  Read the leaflets that come with the pills I always do.

I'm sure you know having been diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis that your diet is a main topic of the problem.  If you are eating ANY kind of fatty foods, you are simply pouring gasoline on that fire.  Also, have they given you any other tests such as an ERCP, Endoscope, Colonoscopy, Upper GI, Lower GI or maybe even an MRI?  I just recently spent 14 days in the hospital getting regular doses of pain and nausea medication and had all of these test ran.  Luckily I do not have Pancreatitis, but I do have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is also diet related (lack of fiber usually); also there is a disease known as Crones Disease that have the same type of symptoms.  I think that maybe you should seek medical attention from a well known Gastrointestinal specialist.  It could be more than your pancreas.

You need to seek the advice of your physician. There are many things that could be associated with this description. You may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or you may be having the early signs of Gall Bladder problems. A physician would need to exam you to determine the actual cause accurately. It can not be diagnosed over the Internet.\n\nSee you physician for diagnosis. Good luck.

Digestive problems, stomach pain, and appetite changes are caused by many things. They can be signs of serious problems such as ulcers, gallbladder problems, and reflux disease. They can also be caused by dietary problems and too little exercise. Often, they occur when we're under stress. But they may also be symptoms of depression.\n\nWhen people are depressed, they sometimes develop digestive problems, including nausea and constipation. Partly it's because the gut has the same serotonin and norepinephrine receptors as the brain. Worry, anxiety, and stress can therefore lead to intestinal difficulties. Also, depressed people often don't take good care of themselves. They may not eat enough, they may eat too much, and they may get very little exercise. All this can make the intestinal tract slow down, which can cause stomach problems.

Anxiety and Depression are the most common psychiatric disorders.\nYour symptoms are suggestive of Panic Attacks, discrete periods of fear or\ndiscomfort with characteristic symptoms that develope abruptly and reach a\npeak within 10 minutes.\nThe characteristic symptoms of Panic Attack are pounding heart rate,\nsweating, trembling, sensation of shortness of breath, chest pain,\nnausea, dizziness, fear of losing control and fear of dying.\nDepression may be secondary to the attacks or may worsen the attacks,\nThe symptoms of depression maybe depressed mood, disturbance of sleep or appetite, decreased interest, feelings of worthlesssness or hopelessnes.\nAn MRI would not aid in the diagnosis of depression or anxiety.\nI recommend an evaluation by a psychiatrist.\nhttp://www.aafp.org/afp/20050215/733.html\n\nDevelopment of Panic Disorder\n\nHow do panic symptoms develop? A phobia of internal sensations is thought to drive the patient's avoidance behavior. In addition to neurochemical and genetic models for the disorder, some researchers have proposed a cognitive model, in which patients learn to misinterpret thoughts and emotions as physical symptoms. For example, a woman who is afraid of being left alone when her husband leaves for work may experience that fear physiologically (e.g., shortness of breath, sweating), which in turn makes her feel more anxious ("What is wrong with me?"), deepening the spiral and leading to more symptoms. Another theory is that patients escalate otherwise benign body sensations into panic attacks (the behavioral model). For example, a man whose heart rate accelerates when he becomes angry may escalate that sensation and the resulting anxiety into the chest pain of a "heart attack." Both examples demonstrate the patient's phobia of internal sensations.\n\nTreatment\n\nPatients with panic disorder have several treatment options. Determining which treatment is best for a given patient is done through a shared decision-making process between the patient and physician. A suggested approach to treatment is outlined in Figure 1.\n\nFigure 1\nhttp://www.aafp.org/afp/20050215/733.html\nTreating Patients with Panic Disorder\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFigure 1. Algorithm for the treatment of panic disorder. (DSM-IV = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed.; CBT = cognitive behavior therapy.)\n \n\nantidepressants\n\nAntidepressant medications have been shown to reduce panic severity, eliminate attacks, and improve overall quality-of-life measures in patients with panic disorder.3 Two recent meta-analyses9,10 found that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are equally effective in reducing panic severity and the number of attacks. In these studies, 61 percent of patients were panic-free after six to 12 weeks of treatment, compared with 41 percent of control patients. These studies differ on whether SSRIs are better tolerated than TCAs. An earlier meta-analysis11 found SSRIs to be superior to TCAs. However, the benefits of SSRIs may have been overstated in the latter study because of its failure to account for publication bias (i.e., the greater likelihood that small studies finding no difference between treatments will not be published). \n\nTable 212 lists dosing and cost information for the antidepressants that have been proved in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to be effective in the treatment of panic disorder. The choice of antidepressant should be based on side effect profiles and patient preferences. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors also are effective in the treatment of panic disorder, but their use is limited by safety concerns.\n\ncognitive behavior therapy\n\nCognitive behavior therapy includes applied relaxation, exposure in vivo, exposure through imager
