for the past couple of days ive had mild pressure in my abdominal region. not any sort of pain but pressure. it comes and goes and i dont know if its associated with heartburn or anything. i have acid reflux medicine but i havent started taking it yet. i dont know if the "pressure" is anxiety caused or if it really is a problem. its almost like a bloated feeling. what could be going on here? its becoming a nuisance. i had a physical done a few weeks ago and had blood work and everything was normal. so i have no idea whats going on. im kinda worried.

Could be IBS. I have some reflux problems, and a hiatal hernia, so that feels weird. I can't tell if my weird feelings are from the new meds for reflux, or just something with the hiatal hernia. Those are only supposed to be harmful if severe.

I have had IBS and it sounds to me like that, or just a gastrointestinal prob. If it continues to be annoying go see the doc.

Good luck!

i also noticed that i get gas alot more than i used to and it feels like somethings pushing from the inside of my stomach area outwards when i get the gas. also my sides and back hurt when i feel this "bloating" feeling. i most likely have acid reflux because ive had heartburn for years and sometimes end up throwing up food/acid after eating. but only once in a while. i have medicine for it but i decided not to take it because of the side effects. for some reason milk helps curb my heartburn, but not the gas. what should i do?
