Hi. I ve been dealing with terrible digestive issues for a few years, diagnosed with Acid Reflux, all tests are normal, now having terrible severe upper back pain like squeezing accompanied by burping, bloating, sweating, nausea and lump in throat. Get these attack usually in the middle of night. No gallstones from ultrasound. Also have MALS(median arcuate ligament syndrome). No one can help me, I can barely eat anything without pain, having another HIDA scan next week. Any ideas or suggestions ?
