Indegestion?
10 Answers
For the past 2 weeks now, I have been suffering with bad acid indigestion - I have never suffered from this before at all - today its been really bad as such I have had a bad stomach ache and felt so nauseous! Once I have chewed a Rennie or such it subsides but not for long half hour later and its back ! I am sat here feeling rather 'green' and icky indeed.....anything else I can use to relieve it ?

Just a bit of advice - years ago, after skipping meals all day at work, etc., I used to end up in agony with burning pains in the top of my stomach, which I thought might be indigestion & had to go to Stoke Mandeville for a barium meal.
This showed that I had a duodenal ulcer & was told not to drink coffee or eat spicy food, which I didn't anyway, also to start eating little & often. I was also given antibiotics & other medication which eased it - bliss!
I soon 'forgot' to eat at work & ended up with yet another ulcer. I had to start the treatment all over again, but have since tried to eat sensibly during the day & it has helped stave off any further problems - although I do get the odd bit of indigestion like most people.
I do hope you'll visit your GP & feel better soon too.
