Are Recurring Attacks Of Heartburn And Dizziness Suggestive Of Gallstones?

I ve had two recent attacks of severe heartburn, the pain is almost unbearable it seems to come in waves then after about an hour I get clammy and feel so bad slightly dizzy for a minute then the pain goes almost completely away and I have a bowel movement. The pain is now almost completely gone , this exact scenario happened about 2 weeks ago and again a few hours ago. I have seen the doctor have a cardiac stress scheduled but I m sure it s g I related...could it be gallstones. I can barely tolerate this pain? Thanks

Probably. Heart burn may be caused by various reasons.Mainly its due to improper dietry habits such as skipping meals,liquor over drinking.And also anxiety and stress factors play its role in working people. Other factors include inadequate sleep,obesity,smoking habit,spicy food and so on. In your case, Proper food digestion needs some secretions from organs such as liver,pancreas.Gallbladder as per wont secrete anything but it stores bile from liver which helps in fatty food digestion. So gallstone may cause defective functioning of gallbladder and so fatty food digestion. Abnormal digestion of food leads to stagnation or improper mobility of gut and so the food from stomach gets reverted back to esophagus which is also simply called as heartburn.
