I used to think it was hunger pains... might be something else!

Hey ya'll, I used to get pains around my chest & abs alot thru the day. I thought it was hunger pains, so i ate all the time. Then a couple of times i had to go to the ER with severe pains. This latest visit caused a good DR to treat me & ran all kinds of tests. Come to find out.. he believes its just Gastritis & ordered me to take 2 Max Strength Pepcids( OTC) a day, 1 in the AM & 1 in PM. Well so far, no pains!!! Then i didn't take them for a week.... the pains came back! Just thought i would share... but always check with your DR for abnormal pains... especially if u have already ate and pains persist! I kept on & on til they did something! Good luck to all! -120lbs... around 142 currently at 5'8, sizes 7-9(JR's)
