Intense & Sharp Upper Stomach Pain
Dr. Joshua,
About three years ago I'd started getting intense and constant heartburn. I went to a doctor who prescribed Prtonix which I took regularly for about one year. Then I had stopped about two years ago with no further heartburn. However, for the last two years certain foods (beer, cooked salmon, wine, and avocado) even in very small quantities (a mouthful ingested) will almost immediately begin intense and sharp pains at the top of my stomach. Taking Protonix for a couple of days does not remedy the problem. It's getting worse and with more foods (and cold medication, etc). I had an endoscopy last week and it showed normal pink healthy stomach. My Dr.'s response was simply to avoid these foods but it is mildly expanding to more food types and the reactions are getting worse with the known ones (beer, wine, avocado, salmon). I'm not sure what specialist to see at this point or how to proceed -or even how concerned I should be. Do you have any insight that can point me in the right direction and get me some relief and piece of mind?
