bit of a long story...so bear with

2 weeks ago I woke up with indigestion pains and a pain on the top left side of my tummy.

so I did stretches etc to try and help shift it.I thenwent and done some heavy lifting.

I pulled all the muscles in my left side and shoulder.

so,I was in a lot of pain with breathing, lying down etc.

I was prescribed naproxen for the pain...which triggered asthma.I then got acid reflux from the naproxen.

so I stopped the naproxen a week ago...but I've felt gurgling in my tummy....feel like I have acid...if I bend over then stand up straight, I feel this bubbling sensation on the left upper side of my tummy.

I think it's this which is making mecough. It's a little bit productive.

my chest is still hurting to take a really deep breath in...sneezing is a big no no.

I have some omeprazole,but I'm worried about taking it, as one of my family had bad rebound acid when they came off it

I'm toying with the idea of getting a docs appt,but I don't want to waste their time if it's just a bit of indigestion

I have possible fibroids and pcos...not sure if they can cause acid

I went lactose free a month ago,as I kept getting indigestion. Kind of helps but I'm wondering if the naproxen has totally messed my tummy up!

any advice would be gratefully received

You should get a doctor’s appointment and try and get an endoscopy. Gaviscon Advance at night will help, wedge pillow and follow an acid reflux diet. No caffeine or alcohol and try manuka honey and probiotics and kefir.
