It sounds like gas...but maybe it's your gall bladder?

What did you eat last night, and how late?

I have woken up with some bad indigestion before. I feel kind of nauseated, and I have this pain that starts in my chest and goes to my back. I usually take some Gaviscon, some Aleve, and settle in my recliner to sleep through it. I can't fully lie down, because that makes it worse.

if it's gas then the position you are in should change the pain.

sounds goofy but lay on your back .... stomach .... side ... standing up .... laying down with pillow under hips.


if the pain changes significanly by different position then it's gas and you just need to take some of the many gas killing medicines available.


gas + constipation = very bad

It is your gall bladder!! Go to the Doc. The pain does go away but it will be once they start to act up it is best to have them removed. Your gall bladder helps with digestion, when it stops/acting up you feel bloated/gassy.

sounds like a man with some experience!!!

comes from when i was younger

high stress job ... terrible eating habits ... parties and beer.


used to carry around a bottle of Maalox in my back pocket. :shake:


i had a bad habit of forgetting to eat. A stomach that is completely empty for extended periods of time isn't very good for you. Your stomach's own acid starts to screw things up.

remember one time when i work like 20 hours straight(no time to really eat) and then went home and slept for another 8 hours. Made the mistake of taking a drink of orange juice when i woke up. :eek:

after getting back up off the floor and drying my eyes ..... i reminded myself to eat something very bland on a completely empty stomach.

I passed a gall stone a few years back. PAINFUL Caffeine will agravate it. Thought I would drink a 7-up to settle my stomache. No 7-up available, drank a Mountain Dew instead. MISTAKE!

I was down on my knees beating my fist into the floor

how did you not at least drink some water in that time frame??? Yikes. How in the hell did you fit maalox in your back pocket though??!!!!

i did drink stuff ...... mostly caffeine heavy :banghead:

which just made my stomach worse in the long run ... bleeding ulcer at one point.


it was even one of those big bottles of maalox. ROFL

people used to tease me about it (here comes maalox man)


dress pants had pretty big pockets :shrug:

Go get 4 oz of wheat grass, it will kill whatever is in there. I would follow up with some probiotics for the next couple weeks.

Why am I envisioning clown pants with that last statement??!!!! LMAO

Was it the minty kind of Maalox or just the regular kind?? heck, they even have cherry now.

that's me ... mister clown ROFL


always minty :harumph: :p

Have you ever....gone swimmin' on a bright and sunny day,
All the little fish-ees swimmin' up and down the bay,
With their hands in their pockets, and their pockets in their pants,
All the little fish-ees do the hoochie-coochie dance!!!~~~

:shake: we don't like clowns. :harumph:
