Pain that comes in a wave at bottom of chest area

SthrnChic · May 26, 2016

Anyone have similar symptoms or can tell me what this might be? I have pain that comes in a wave at varying frequencies. I cant say its everytime i drink something but certainly a lot of the time. It also happens spontaneously without my having drank anything in a bit. It almost feels like a gas pain but i know it is not gas. I had surgery 6 days ago. I feel good otherwise. No fever or nausea. I called the on call fellow and was told if i had no fever and could keep things down there is no concern. ????

It could still be gas.

I have this too, my surgery was may 18th. I think it's stomach acid. I take omeprazole 40 MG but I still have that burning wave of pain. I took some liquid gaviscon and that seemed to settle it down some. Did you have issues with reflux or GERD before surgery?

Thx for the reply. It is not a burn. Its a pain like a gas pain. Goes away in 3-4 seconds but hurts like dickens in the wave! I am taking pilosec twice a day (regular routine rx for everyone my dr operates on). I had some mild heartburn off n on prior to surgery. But this feels nothing like heartburn unfortunately. I hope it gets better soon. Ugh.

I do get a weird gas pain if I take too big of a sip of liquids but its like my stomach has a spasm or if I swallow air but I usually burp and it goes away
