Odd symptons, anyone have a clue...? - Digestive Disorders Message Board

Hello everyone, my name is Rob, sorry to burden you with my problems, but I've been to around 3 doctors and still, they have no answer for me.

I'm 15 years old male, I weigh around 175 lbs, 5' 11''.

For the past week and a half, I have been waking up with severe burning pains and abdominal cramps, as well as nausea. Most of the time, within an hour of waking up or so, the nausea overtakes me, and I vomit.

From then on, I feel fine for that day, but the next day, it's right back.

I've been trying to look stuff up on the internet, but all the signs turn to Morning sickness.... however, I don't think I'm pregnant

Does anyone have any idea why this is going on?

-Rob

Hey Rob - Did the docs do an upper GI (x-ray of the stomach) to see if you have an ulcer? I know how awful it is to be so sick. I wake up during the night (not every night) with extreme nausea and sometimes I end up vomiting. It's horrible...and I still don't know for sure what it is. I think it is due to too much acid in my stomach. It seems to help if I take Pepcid AC in the evening. Do you get hearburn? If so, be sure to tell the doctor about it. Hope you get some relief soon. And please keep us posted.
