Constant tightness on Stomach

I really don't know what to do. I have had tightness in my stomach for about 2 months now without any relief. Usually it would last for a week and did not feel anything for days and then it would return. Now it just does not go away.

I don't have tightness in my throat anymore. I even tried to ween myself from using Nexium.

The tightness is usually around my stomach in the center. On occasions is on the right or left near the ribs above the belly button. The tightness usually shifts sides during the day.

I am at wits ends, I have tried everything, doctors don't know what it is. I am almost always tired because the tightness makes me feel breathless as i seems it pushes on my diaphragm.

You may have an overgrowth of bad bacteria. Try going off all carbohydrates as bad gut bacteria live off the. Buy garlic tablets and take two a day and the strongest probiotic you can get, one a day. You may have to do this for a long time. Ask your doctor about a condition called Dysbiosis

Do you do any lifting and carrying anything heavy? Wondering whether you have strained a muscle in tummy or caused an hernia? Ask for an x-ray as it's been going on a long time.
