Does Lipoma Cause Digestive Problems And Reflux?

I have a lipoma on the left side of my neck/shoulder. It has gotten larger. I have bad digestive problems, reflux, nausea. Could pressure from the tumor be putting pressure on the nerves that affect digestion? I have been to many doctors about the digestive problems and tried everything you can think of.

Hi.
The simplest way is to get the lipoma removed to get the lump out of the body, get a tissue diagnosis, to confirm whether this is lipoma or not.

Well to answer your question. There are no nerves in the area the lump is situated . The bad digestive problems , reflux and nausea have to be investigated by endoscopy and other relevant tests. Get a proper diagnosis and treatment as Ranitidine, antacid gels, diet adjustments and as suggested by your Doctors.
Your putting the symptoms would have helped me to help you more.
