I have been having major stomach issues all weekend and was wondering if those of you with acid reflux or GERD or one of those types of deals could tell me if it sounds like I have something like that.


On Friday I had a headache so i took some Excedrin migraine before bed. I hate to take it because it usually upsets my stomach in some way but it is the only thing that works and I needed the headache to be gone Sat. morning. So, I woke up at 1 a.m. with this awful sort of heartburn stomachache thing. I have had it before - June was the last time I had it. It aches just at the bottom of my sternum, in the middle. I guess right below and between my boobs. I don't think it is a burning, it just aches. It sort of "throbs" - it gets really bad for a few seconds, then kind of dissipates for a few seconds. So I got up and took a million different meds, pepto and some other gross antacid gum we had. It hurt on and off all weekend but for the most part it was always there. I was taking Mylanta all weekend.


It still hurts every once in a while today, but what i have noticed is my stoamch keep sgetting real hungry and growly every couple of hours, and then it starts to ache. If i eat it seems to help a bit. Usually though I go like 4 hours between meals, so this is unusual for my tummy.


Does this sound liek an ulcer or acid refulx or somehting? I thought it was just from the Excedrin but that was almost 72 hours ago, so i don't think it is strictly the excedrin anymore.
