I've had this pain in my upper abdomen since the weekend when I was drinking, it feels similar to indigestion only more like I'm going to die... I got it again tonight and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life and the NHS nurse told me it was indigestion! I felt embarrassed that this thing brought me to my knees. I couldn't breathe, my legs gave out and my stomach felt like it was going to explode, I felt like I was part of the cast in a new alien movie. Anyway, is there any other condition this could be? or how to prevent it because I sure as hell don't want that feeling again in my life, I'd rather loose an arm.

There are a lot of possiblities out there for what is wrong with you. You're going to need to see a doctor to get a definitive diagnosis though.Things that can give you that level of pain are severe indigestion, hiatal hernia, a pinched nerve and some other esoteric esophagial problems.In the case of a pinched nerve, there's a very simple preventative. Using your right arm, reach over your head and touch your left shoulder. Then, do the same with your left arm and right shoulder. Repeat 10 X per arm.Indigestion of the level you're experiencing should respond to a couple of OTC remedies. My best recommendation would be prilosec. It will take these about 3 days before you get relief.If the above don't take care of your problem, you need to see a gastro-enterologist. They can determine if you have a hiatal hernia or something more off the wall like ecolasia (sp?). If things are severe, there are surgical remedies which will should stop the problems.Hang in there and good luck!
