What Causes Stomach Pain, Bloating, Gurgling In The Stomach, Gas And Acid Reflux?
Question: Dear Doctor,
In 2009 I got Diagnosed with IBS .....
Now in 2017 here is what is going on ....
Pain in Suprasternal Notch ....... Bottom of Suprasternal Notch ..... And a Lot of Tickling in that area as well
I thought I was suffering from GERD because I had all the symptoms ...... So I went to the to the Doctor for a Ton of Tests .....
2 Full Blown Blood Tests CBC .... CMP .... Thyroid Tests ..... Everything is Extremely Perfect with ALL Blood Tests ...
Chest Xray - Normal ...
Ultra Sound Entire Neck and from the Bottom of my Rib Cage ALL the Way up to my Chin -- Normal ....
ENT -- Did Throat Exam ..... Said I had Very Mild Silent Reflux .....
Wore a 24 hour Heart Holter -- Normal
I had ALL the Symptoms of GERD .....
Stomach Pain -- ALL over in the stomach and then also in Designated Area's
Bloating at times
Lots of Noises coming from the stomach ... Gurgling and like a half bottle of water swishing around...
Lots of Gas .....
Sometimes Light Acid Reflux ... Not often but I did have a little ....
Pain and Bloating after Eating .....
Upper Spasms in my Suprasternal Notch area
Feeling like Any time I was going to burp and feel like I was going to burp up Acid Reflux ..... But never did .... Just felt like it was hanging around below my Suprasternal Notch and at anytime it was going to happen ...
Hard Long Dry Burps .... When I would burp .... The pain in the Suprasternal Notch would subside ..... Get Less and less ....
Pain in Suprasternal Notch -- Like Lumpy Feeling -- Like there is a Golf Ball in my Throat .....
Trouble Swallowing Food .... Sometime have to turn my head to the right and swallow hard to push food down due to feeling dry ....
Excess Phlegm ....
Feeling like I have Excess Saliva .....
When I would swallow liquids SOMETIMES it would feel like the Liquid would be at the back of my throat and go down slowly ...... Like a Funnel.....
Sometimes during the Day.... Every now and then I will feel Absolutely wiped out .... Fatigued and Flu Like and within 20 minutes it ALL goes away .....
My OCD and Anxiety would make ALL this feel worse .....
So I seen a Functional Doctor and did his Protocol .....
Changed Diet
Supplements ...
Even did a 14 Day Juice Diet ..... Lost 15 lbs ... I didn't need to lose ....
Included Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 Tablespoons and Water every Morning .....
So Most of ALL the Symptoms went away ......
Then I was having Pain in my Chest .... Mainly on the Right side of my Breast Bone ....
Doctor said it is Costocondritis ...... When I would push on it hard enough I thought I could feel Sensation in my Suprasternal Notch .....
Plus I am High OCD and Anxiety -- HIGH ... Doctors are telling me that Anxiety is Mimicking Symptoms .....
I am at a Loss .....
So Now I am back with Functional Doctor -- Regular Doctor says I should follow his instructions for 3 months ..... because I Only followed them for a month and then switched to 3 different protocols and tried to combine a few as well .... Not a Good Decision ....
My Regular Doctor said to Stop Everything and go back to Functional Doctor and Follow Protocol for 3 months and give it time to work .....
I just started doing Coffee Enemas as well --- This is wiping me out .... Ugggggh .... Two was Enough ... I stopped doing that .....
I am ALL messed up with what to do ......

Brief Answer:
Oesophageal manometry
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
These are symptoms of GERD which can be aggravated by anxiety.
Answers to your questions
1. and 2. - If you burp before or after hiccup there isn't any specific pathology or cause. It indicates diaphragmatic irritation due to stomach and oesophageal distention.
3. Daily morning hiccups could suggest diaphragmatic irritation and needs to be investigated. Oesophageal manometry will be useful.
4. The frizzy bubbly feeling is due to acidity. You are experiencing hyperawareness due to anxiety.
5. Anxiety and OCD can aggravate GERD symptoms as well as oesophageal motility disorders.
It is advisable to avoid looking looking up information on the net because most of them are unstructured and can lead one to uncharted territory without a clear understanding. Do consult your Doctor on the possibilities with relevant investigations at hand. Practice mindfulness to ward off from over thinking.

Not Cancer ........
Please help ....

Brief Answer:
Not cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hiccup usually occurs due to diaphragmatic irritation. Burp indicates letting out of stomach digestive gases.
When the gas travels up the oesophagus it can stimulate an Irritable diaphragm and cause Hiccup followed by Burp.
Burp followed by Hiccup can indicate a larger gas bolus being propelled up thus stimulating an Irritable diaphragm.
These aren't signs of cancer.

The Pain seems to come and go ... I will admit ... I do sit a lot and don't have the best Posture ... I do slouch quite a bit .....
A lot of time it seems to be linked to the right side front of my neck ..... And sometimes when I stretch my neck to the left side ... I can feel the pain in the Chest or the Back or both .....

Brief Answer:
Muscular
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
The symptoms you mentioned are attributable to muscular strain due to posture extremes.
Do take a break from playing and perform hot fomentation to the affected regions.
Costochondritis has mainly conservative management with NSAIDS and physiotherapy with which it would resolve.

MRI neck and oesophageal manometry
Detailed Answer:
Posture issues can cause these problems which could be associated with the gastritis and your anxiety.
The pain and difficulties you feel have not been quantified by all the necessary Medical tests so it could be functional with a psychological component.
Please do an MRI scan of the neck and oesophageal manometry test to rule out motility disorders and inflammation.

Brief Answer:
It definitely accentuates suffering from organic disorders
Detailed Answer:
You do have symptoms of GERD and oesophageal motility disorder which needs investigations as I suggested.
The anxiety makes your problem worse because of added psychosomatic component. It can accentuate the pain. Quantification of the pain may be done as a comparative analysis before and after proper anti-anxiety or legally proposed treatment by a licensed Psychiatrist as needed. This will lead you to your answer for yourself.

Why I think most of this pain is skeletal and muscular is that ..... When I move certain ways is when I can feel soreness ..... or irritation ......
I do NOT do a lot of stretching .... I know .... Not too good ..... Especially lifting Heavy weights in the gym and Playing so much golf .....
So when I do reach my right arm over my head to stretch .... I can feel the sensation of the pain ..... and when I move certain ways I can feel these issues .....
I think if I had soft tissue damage ..... This would not be .... and the pain isn't always constant ...... Which leads me to the theory of Skeletal and Muscular Irritation ....
Along with irritation in neck just above my collar bone .... Half way between the chin and the end of the jaw ... but on the bottom of the neck just above the collar bone ... Like a nerve or something .....
