Chest Pain, soooo bad

[Monica2683 0]

Ok, before my surgery back in May I was taking nexium for what I thought was for my upset stomache issues, the doctor said the nexium would help and I wouldn't be in the bathroom all the time, well it did work. BUT my surgeon said nexium is for heartburn or acid reflux and I have never had either of those.

Anyway, I am 5 months out from my surgery and as of last week I started waking up with bad pains in my chest, which I was told sound like heartburn or acid reflux and like it hurts to eat or drink stuff, I don't throw it up, but it does hurt. I wake up in the morning with bad pains, as I type this, it hurts.

I saw my doc this past Tuesday and he said he isn't too concerned, but he wants me to have an upper gi, but I am not having that done for 5 more weeks, so apparently he isn't all too concerned.

Question is, has anyone experienced these pains? Is it normal?

Could it be your gall bladder? I had mine removed four years ago and it felt like chest pain and it felt like I was hvg a heart attack

I don't know, I just thought it was weird to have pains in my chest I have never had before. I didn't know if it had anything to do with the band or not.

Here is another vote for Gall Bladder. I haven't had this problem personally, but from what I've heard from others, having gall bladder pains does almost feel like a heart attack. I would talk to your doctor though, and see if they have any insight. They know your medical history better than we do. Best of luck!! Hope you feel better.

Another vote for gallbladder - an attack feel exactly like you're describing and then it goes away. Good luck!
