I have a history of bleeding ulcers. I've had gastric bypass and the ulcer is at the connect area where my stomach and small intestines are stapled. I take Prilosec most of the time but sometimes go off it when I don't have money to buy then my ulcers start hurting to point where it goes up to my chest cause bad chest pain. My blood pressure is 150/102 at the moment. I've been drinking alka selzer the last few days, because it's a temporary relief for a few hours but according to the box that's bad for the ulcers. I can't afford to be hospitalized and I just started back on Prilosec today but it will take a few days to kick in. I guess my question is, I've been taking way too much alkaselzer but it's only relief of pain even if just for a couple hours, then it spikes again to the point of intoleration. The box says don't take more than 8 in 24 hour period and I've exceeded that each day for probably the last 3 days for the temporary relief. Could drinking that much hurt my ulcer to the point where the Prilosec might not work? I take care of my mother and can not be away from her really to go the e.r. I'm confused and don't know what to do since the alka selzer is only thing that helps when pain is so bad??

You're just going to have to wait and see to be honest. I would've made an appointment as soon as it got bad but you're well beyond that point. Get to a doctor and figure it out. You might also want to look at ways you can get free care if money is an issue. I know there is a way, but I don't know how.

Chest pain can also be a symptom of a digestive problem, such as acid reflux or a stomach ulcer.
Your caregiver will examine you. Describe your chest pain in as much detail as possible. Tell him where your pain is and when it began. Tell him if you notice anything that makes the pain worse or better. Tell him if it is constant or comes and goes. Your caregiver will ask what medicines you use and if you have other medical conditions. He may do the following tests:

An ECG (EKG) is a test that records your heart's electrical activity.

Blood tests check for heart damage and signs of a heart attack.

A chest x-ray may show damage to or fluid around your heart and lungs.

An echocardiogram uses sound waves to see if blood is flowing normally through your heart.

A CT or MRI scan
