GEDR or Anxiety?
I’m a 29M and I’ve been dealing with gas and stomach issues for the past couple of years. I’ve done a lot of tests, and the only thing they found was fatty liver. My GI doctor thinks a lot of my symptoms are related to that. About 2 years ago, I had an endoscopy and tested positive for H. pylori. I went through the treatment, tested again after, and it was gone.
Recently, the gas problems have come back again. Whenever I eat, I get a lot of burping and farting, and sometimes the area around my belly button feels weird or uncomfortable. In the mornings, I wake up constantly farting. I also deal with pretty bad acid reflux. If I eat fried or spicy food, it sometimes feels like gas gets stuck in my throat, and I feel tightness or shortness of breath until I burp. It can make me anxious at times.
The weird thing is I run and work out regularly and never have breathing issues during exercise, only after eating or when the reflux gets bad.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar with GERD, fatty liver, gas, or throat tightness. Would appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.
