Indigestion so bad- feels like a heart attack

Need much more information, but it sounds like maybe acid reflux. It could be caused by one ingredient like gluten, the protein in starches. It could be caused by cruciferous vegetables. Get tested. MOST IMPORTANTLY Stop smoking, cut out soda, get a full night of sleep, walk 2 miles a day and don't overeat.

I have never attributed it to not sleeping well. Makes sense, as I do suffer from insomnia quite often.

I use pineapple juice

the pineapple juice is base and will bring the pH level up

Prilosec OTC...1 per day....problem solved !

Try gulping cold water, it works for me.

It could be esophageal spasms. They feel like a heart attack, they are VERY painful.

Have no fear, the Pharma whores have a drug for that. A proton pump inhibitor. Yes, sure they are deadly and have all sorts of side effects, including cancer.

It sure is easier than making better food choices.

Vegetables, OP, ever hear of them? No, not the deep fried ones. The steamed, buttered and lightly salted variety

...

In the old days, I would recommend drinking more water. Using apple cider vinegar. Lose the gut, (walking), and the stress, (pray).

but that cuts into Pharma whore profits and does not accomplish the goal of eliminating useless eaters.

Pretty sure that's the one that caused the stroke.

Prilosec is a PPI drug.....short term use only.....prolong use prevents bones from absorbing calcium, increase risk of heart attack, and Chronic kidney disease....

Nexium and Prilosec Injuries & Side Effects

The most serious potential side effects caused through the use of Nexium & Prilosec are strokes, bone fractures, acute kidney injury (AKI), renal failure, and heart damage.

People who take multiple daily doses for a long period of time (a year or longer), especially those 50 years of age or older, have an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, and spine. Additionally, people who use the drugs appear to have a 20-50% higher risk of chronic kidney disease compared with nonusers, and a 20-30% increased risk for stroke.

Original alka-seltzer.

Plop plop fizz fizz.

Down it like a shot.

Wait for burp.

Problem solved.

Lemon water [ poof gone ]

May Jesus heal you now amen.

Sounds liketemporsry GERD. I had it once, maybe twice before. Make sure you sleep with your upper body elevated.

Can't say what I did to make it go away but calcium tablets helped. Maybe try pepcid or zantac. Try to do a cleanse by drinking water only, eating little as possible until this passes, and not eating a variety but very simple things like bread and lettuce and beans and oatmeal, no flavors or spices, no sugars. Since your body is acidic it needs to naturally become more alkaline and not just from throwing tablets down your throat but diet change like you said, lifestyle change. Please try my recommendation and may Jesus help you overcome amen.

Mine came on while I was the most stressed earlier this year.

There ya go!

Then add lemon juice or cider vinegar to your water and drink that all day long.

Baking soda, check it out, or good amount of apple cider vinegar in juice.. With some tums, works evertime

This is the Best solution to this problem I've found yet. I get the same discomfort op. Baking soda works every time.

Baking soda supports kidneys as well.. Some say.. Check it first

You need to immediately throw up the build up of bile with in you

Plus take a good shit

Your stomach doesn't produce too much acid.


Your whole body is too acidic.


Drink a gallon of water a day for a few weeks to flush the acid out.

If you're overweight then get off your ass. You are to blame for this.

Half glass of whole milk helps me instantly.

You need probiotics and digestive enzymes with every meal, to start off.

Then you can begin to deal with your multiple food allergies. An elimination diet won't help at all if your immune system is reacting to everything.

Once a day, after breakfast or dinner, take these:

50 mg Zinc
A quality Vitamin-B complex
Magnesium
Molybdenum
Sodium ascorbate (5,000 mg): best form of vitamin C

Take this every day for 3 months, then go bavk and get blood allergy-tested. Your sensitivities should drop a bit by then.

Keep going until you can see, by the test numbers, that your immune system is healed.

Keep up with the digestive enzymes and orobiotics, though, to make sure you don't relapse.

Get digestion enzymes and anything you eat that is not whole food (like apples, carrots, etc.) take it with the food as directed.
I stopped eating meat for almost 6 yrs cuz my belly would hurt so bad and even wake me from sleep.
Cut out meat and it stopped and i also lost 25 lbs in two months just from no meat.
After almost 6 yrs i read about if your stomach doesn't produce enough enzymes to break the food down, that is what happens and it will only get worse and you'll end up with leaky gut and pancreas and liver probs.
Solution??? Digestive Enzymes!
Tried the ones from CVS and Walgreens but they didn't work for me so i ordered off internet and got strong ones called ULTRA PROTEO-ZIMES and that worked like a charm.

Been doing them for the last year and no more problems (used to also have severe back problems in lower back and sometimes could not move and would end up with sciatica which was excruciating but once i stopped eating meats, no more back pain at all) but one thing i gotta say.....i did feel better when not eating meat and i am just being honest.....and i think its cuz the meats are so full of antibiotics and pesticides and vaccines and what they feed these animals....JMO

This is what I use and I recommend it, however, if this is a chronic problem you may need have low hydrochloric acid. Have you used digestive enzymes? A good one has all of the enzymes needed to break down each food group.

Cut out gluten dairy and caffeine.

Report back here.

I have similar problems gluten and dairy makes me swell inside and gives me diarrhea.

Inflammatory foods and some of us are much more sensitive.

Try grazing. I.E. don't eat full meals, do eat a handful of this and a half a cup of that all day long.

IT'S NOT INDIGESTION, IT'S YOUR GUTS INFLAMED AND SWELLING UP.

DONT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE ABOUT PRILOSEC AND BAKING POWDER AND ALL THIS GARBAGE.

YOU NEED TO RESET YOUR DIET.

CUT OUT GLUTEN, CAFFEINE, AND DAIRY.

START WITH RICE AND BUILD A SIMPLE DIET TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN EAT AND WHAT AFFECTS YOU NEGATIVELY.

this is good advice as well.

eating 5-6 small snack size meals vs 3 large meals is much better on your gut.

Baking SODA you stupid piece of shit.

I guarantee the cure.

Within minutes.

caffeine is a killer guys.

you don't know what you are talking about

OP has food allergies

Baking soda isn't going to do squat.
