Left side indigestion...?

I have sharp indigestion type pain on the left side of my chest just under my ribs...so far ive taken a couple of zantac and half a bottle of gaviscon advance but to no relief...any ideas or advise as I want to sleep tonight and have had it for hours so far !! ???? Thanks xx

Doesnt sound like indigestion more like gall stones. If Zantac and gaviscon are not helping get to a g.p. It could be an ulcer and i sympathise with that.Sorry i cant give you any cures for tonight but make an appointment tomorrow and the doc will sort you out

I sympathise. Took loads of painkillers after my hysterectomy but just think, you wont need to take anymore for period pains! Report It

if you have someone with you then get them to pat your back for you, pat in a circular motion. this should help. [bit like winding a baby].

also try sipping warm water, this may also help.

TAKE A LARGE DRINK OF GASSY LIQUID SUCH AS COKE , ORANGE OR SOME ANDREW'S SALT'S

It could be gallstones or some kind of inflamation if the liver. If continues or comes back you need to see a doctor. To relieve the current symptoms in the short term, try a hot water bottle.

Drink a fizzy drink as fast as possible so you can bring up any wind. You should feel better afterwards

Try half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda powder with a little bit of milk in a glass, stir and drink. Also sip boiling water. Did u eat something spicy?
