Hello, I'm an American living in China. The healthcare in my area isn't the greatest, and it's difficult for me to communicate with them, so I appreciate your advice.
For about a week I've been having indigestion problems. It's common here to get food poisoning, but this seems to be something more than that. The symptoms come and go, but there is a steady discomfort. Sometimes I feel bloated, sometimes it feels more like heartburn, other times it just feels really tight like my stomach is making a fist. Most of the symptoms are in the stomach region, but sometimes the discomfort spreads in the direction of my gallbladder, and sometimes I have discomfort in my lower abdomen.
