What Causes Burning Sensation In The Stomach?
I ve had mid epigastric burning with & without eating, but worse after eating, for over 5 weeks. I ve been on Omeprazole, Zantac, carafate, & now dexilant. CT of abdomen & pelvis were normal. Have endoscopy next week. The weirdest thing is that the burning only starts when I sit down or lie down...no matter how long I stand up and walk around after eating. None of these meds have helped much. Any ideas?
