I have shooting pains going across the upper part of my stomach just below my breasts. Yesterday, I had dull achy pain there all day. When this happens I experience what appears to be a hot flash, but I had a hysterectomy five years ago. I was told my pancreas was fatty about two years ago and I adjusted my fat intake to 20 grams of fat a day, but recently I ve been eating quite a few more grams than that. I do not drink or smoke and my cholesterol is not unusually high. I take generic Protonix for GERD issues and generic Wellbutrin for other issues, and I take one 81mg chewable baby aspirin a day. I also take a probiotic, a B12, folic acid, an AZO cranberry tablet for urinary tract health, and a phytoestrogen vitamin formula.
Hello, Most probably it will be due to severe acid reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
