What Causes Frequent Indigestion, Burping, Loss Of Appetite And Shoulder Pain?
I have frequent indigestion, accompanied by burping, loss of appetite, and discomfort between my shoulder blades. I am currently taking Pepcid with the assumption this is a GI disturbance. I am concerned that it may be cardiac in nature or could be pancreatitis. Your thoughts?

Hi there.
The symptoms are due to Acid peptic disease. Pain in the shoulder could be due to gall bladder inflammation as well. Avoid fatty and spicy diet, junk food, colas, smoking and alcohol. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Keep well hydrated. Cardiac pain need to be ruled out. Hey an ECG and 2D ECHO and consult your Cardiologist.
