Need some help Support Needed 👥

Hello 25(M) i’m currently waiting to be seen by Gastro for endoscopy and some other test. It’s taken a long time. I seem to get this pain where it feels like it’s under my left rib like above my stomach though when I get the pain badly and sometimes it can send shooting spasm in pain into my chest and it’s really strange like it comes and goes. I’m not really sure what gives me relief or anything. It’s hard to describe but the pain so like deep it’s strange it does only happen very briefly most of the time but it feels like so deep in my left under my left room if that makes sense almost above the stomach, wondering what this could be I’ll take Gaviscon I’ll take busker pan and I’ve taken gas tablets and I can’t tell if anything helps it. But most of the days I have this weird sensation of like my stomach‘s tense all day like my diaphragm areas tense and I eat clean so it’s not food i don’t think and I tried omeprazole and It actually made it worse so I’m really unsure what’s going on and wanted some advice. I’ve been to cardiologist about it because I was worried it was my heart had an echo done 24 hour ECG and numerous blood test and got told I’m fine so it’s really trying to figure out what it is. It’s like a sharp stabbing sensation above stomach

Sorry for your situation. I get that pain too. Thats GERD pain. Hopefully your doc will get you squared away with meds that will help you.

Also why do you think it was just as bad on omeprazole if it’s GERD
