question
Hello my husband is not feeling well at all. He has a ulcer has had for 16 years and also acid reflex will he always has done alot of burping but lately anyting he eats or drinks bothers him belching all the time stomach bloated and just feels very uncomfortable including he says his chest feels kind of tight. His uncle passed away from espohaus cancer so he is always thinking about that. We don't have insurance right now so of course he does not want to go to the dr? I think he needs to go though he wonders if maybe it could be gallbladder?

I dont know what to say, is there any way you can go to WebMD and put in the symptoms, see what comes up??
Does he take medicine for it?

Walgreens has generic prilosec now, and it works great and not too expensive.

They have found that many ulcers are caused by a bacteria that responds to antibiotics.

buglebe that bacteria is called H.Pylori. Ive had it I was diagnosed with it last year I had an awful burning in my stomach,I was nauseated, bloated awful and always felt hungry(like I hadnt had anything to eat in a week) so they tested my blood and thats what it was. they will put you on 2 antibiotics and a medicine like prevacid(or they have what they call a prevpak) and you take those 2-3x a day for 2 weeks. and of course it can come back but they will have to take a stool sample the second time as the blood test will become inconclusive for some reason. I am now on prevacid the rest of my life because I had acid reflux(before I knew I had H. Pylori) and it caused an ulcer.patchouli your mom most likely had the H pylori bacteria. the OP whos husband has problems might want to look up H. Pylori as it can do some severe damage and from what Ive read in some places could cause certain types of cancers. so hope that helps but what others said about it maybe being a heart attack that is also possible and there is also a type of acidreflux that occurs in diabetics(called Diabetic Gastroparesis) that can cause those symptoms also so maybe have him checked for that as well.

Can you get insurance through the state/medicade
Sometimes ya just gotta go to the DR even when you dont have the money. I wouldn't take chances.

We tried getting help through the state but seeings we own 4 vehicles and what we owe on them we got turned down. I think it is a crock that they punish a person for this it is not like we own the vehicles or even our house.

I mean., what could it hurt to have him drink some., I'd give it a shot. At least you don't have to spend alot on it., you probably have some in your fridge right now.

The symptoms I had before having my gallbladder removed was, sever pains & always sick to my stomach. My doctor sent me to have an untrasound done and two days later I had my gallbladder removed.
My sister has acid reflux & she has the same symptoms as you described. Oneday she thought she was having a heart attack, it was acid reflux.
Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.
