i personally couldnt tell you what it is, you could try taking some gas ex or something simmiler and see if it goes away, or check out my sources and go there, i go there for most of my medical needs and it works for me

That question cracked me up! :)\nIt is normal. Trust me, it is better to let them out, than to hold them in!  It's probably the food that you eat. Different things cause different reactions. Eggs is a known culprit! Raw veggies is too. If you think that is your problem, then you can take Beano to see if it helps. Unless this is something that is really causing pain or embarrassment, then this does not require a call to your doctor. On the other hand,  if you are having painful gas, you may have a medical condition. Change your diet to well cooked veggies, breads, pastas, no eggs and no fried foods, and see if the gas goes away. If it doesnt, it is your call on whether or not you proceed to the doc.\nGood Luck "farty pants"!

Gas can cause it if you have stomache problems bile could be backing up.And also with gastro problems it bothers you more laying down.

I suppose enough bloating could cause a headache.  Try to determine cause of your gas (foods, allergies).  Do you have heart disease?  Might be celiac disease.  Talk to your physician.

It sounds like an ulcer, but should have shown up with the ultrasound. Hmmm... I would contact my doctor again. I spent 4 days in the hospital last year with pains like yours, turned out to be a hiatal hernia. Good luck!

you might have what is called IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). certain foods will make you feel nauseated and bloated. it can be very uncomfortable at times like you have a stomach ache that never goes away. avoiding gasey foods helps. try drinking some weak coke or pepsi or some ginger ale. my husband has this and he is very uncomfortable all the time. next time you go to the doctor have them test you for this.

Stress can cause that.  Take gas x or some other over the counter gas reliever for a day or 2 and see if it helps.

Hi.  You need to take your symptoms very seriously (even if your doctor doesn't!).  There really aren't enough details in the info. you give to say anything specific about what might be going on.  But, the symptoms you describe can be indications of potentially very serious problems, such as:\n1) Ulcers\n2) Gallbladder problems\n3) Pancreatic problems (including cancer)\n4) even Heart problems (especially in women)\n\nWhy are you on 'meds' for gerd?  Why is your doc not working with you to find and fix the cause of the gerd?  (There are many causes, but they can be found and fixed!).  Note: the meds create the potential for causing many new problems, including: H.pylori infections/ulcers, maldigestion, malabsorption of some vitamins and minerals, etc.  Simply, meds do not treat the cause, they mask the symptoms that should be telling you that you need to find the problem, and meds cause NEW problems!\n\nYou need a second (even a third) opinion.  Demand it or just go find another doc.\n\nLastly, I would like to recommend a very educational and helpful book on these types of problems.  It is written by Sherry Rogers', M.D..  She is a leading researcher, clinician and teacher of physicians.  The book is called: "No More Heartburn".  It is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  This is a very powerful book and includes all the scientific research references to back up the information (research I guarantee your doctor has not read).\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

It's probably just gas...I know it sounds weird...gas in your breast?  But it's very true and possible...but to be safe you should contact your doctor.

Yes, I had an Upper GI Series done a long time ago. Unless things have changed you will drink 3 cups of that "chalky stuff" which has I believe a barium isotope solution in it that will "stick to your ulcers" so that they may show up on an x-ray.

IT CAN BE CAUSED BUY MANY DIFFERENT THINGS INCLUDING DIET, GAS OR A LOWWER GI PROBLEM BUT IF IT CONTINUES YOU SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR

It could be one of many things, first off it could be GERD, something that is like heatburn but is more in the stomach and you don't have to eat spicy foods for it to act up, caffeine, chocolate and other foods can cause discomfort in your stomach and throat. It could also be that your gallbladder is inflamed and causing the pain.  These are just a few things can be going on but without an examination and history no one here can really diagnose what is wrong.  It could also be anxiety caused from being stressed out and when you stress sometimes you can hyperventilate and that can cause unexplained heart/chest pains.  You really should be checked out just to have peace of mind.\n\nTake care, let us know how you feel.

Could be a sign. When my mother was pregnant she couldn't stand the smell of certain foods that she used to love. My best friend's mother said every time she was pregnant she liked the smell of gas when they were filling up at the pump. \n\nTry a home test and if you still aren't sure, see your doctor of course.

Yes it can. It could be the sign of an Ulcer. Also, I had a heart attack and I didn't have any chest pain at first it started in my back.

Sounds like you may have eaten some gas-causing foods.
