What Causes Pressure Sensation In The Epigastric Area?
I ve been having pressure sensation in my epigastric area for about 4 years. I ve had two endoscopy procedures done. They have both shown H Pylori positive results and I ve completed antibiotic treatments. I ve since been on Prilosec 40 mg every day that provides absolutely no relief. When I workout, stress, or even sitting kicks the pressure in. I ve also had a CT w/conytrast that showed normal results. Any idea what it may be?
