I have been experiencing extreme stomach pain after I only have one beer. It's been happening for two months and I don't know why. I have been to doctor and they drew blood from me and said everything is normal. I'm always feeling tired as well even though I get plenty of sleep and I also get headaches a lot and the only thing that helps my headaches go away is Advil. Which I heard is not good to take but it's really the only thing that gets rid of my headache fast. I went to the hospital a few months ago as well for gastritis, but I think that would have been gone by now. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this and what I can do about it. Also today I have had an empty feeling in my stomach even though I have eaten enough to make me full, but my stomach still feel empty.

I have noticed you have quit smoking, and changed your diet in the last 6 months. Have you also gone on a exercise program, or talked to an diet clinician about nutrients, vitamins and staying properly hydrated?

No I just go to the gym a few times a week but I haven't talked to anyone.

We cant diagnose here, no one can diagnose on the net. Best for you to visit your doctor.

Surprised with your symptoms no Upper GI testing.

Speaking as someone with chronic heartburn (stomach acid) and a bit of acid reflux, I am always surprised when I encounter someone who has it too, but doesn't even know enough to try antacid tablets to see if they work. If a TUMS works instantly, then you have a simple case of heartburn.

HOWEVER, real pain after one beer can be just a need to burp, all the way to an ulcer, and other things in between, so go back to the doctor, or find a better one! A blood panel is a good start for just about anyone, but if they are normal, then you go back for more tests!

Well just the other night I had one drink and was puking up blood. I have tried tums before but it's not heartburn. I have gone to my doctor a few times in the past two months and nothing has shown up in my bloodstream. They just say everything is normal. I have some pills that I got from the hospital and I have been taking them, but those are running out. I just can afford to go to the hospital again for it and I keep wasting my money and time going to the doctors just to get a result saying everything is good. I'll try again but with a different doctor this time and hopefully I find out something.

Vomiting blood is an emergency. You should have gone to the ER.

You need to see a gastroenterologist. Just because your blood comes back fine that doesn't mean you are okay.

I just can't afford to go to the er. It wasn't that much blood though.

You can't afford to go to the ER. Can your family afford your funeral?

Hospitals have programs in place to help those that are uninsured.

NOW you tell us that you 'have some pills that I got from the hospital and I have been taking them, but those are running out.' WHAT ARE THEY??? Why didn't you mention them at the beginning????
Do as J_9 says. You are not helping the people who might be able to help you online. Your condition is not one for asking about online anyway.

Sounds like it could possibly be an ulcer, but I can't diagnose that online.
