I got terrible indigestion for the last 5 weeks

Dang Duane....I agree with Ron, it sounds like ulcers and Fishing may be the only cure.
Check with a gastrologist. they should be able to figure it out.

Symptoms of gallstones

I had the same problem and I ate zantac 75 for years. I went to my doctor when zantac quit working. They ran some test and did a ultrasound and found that I had a gallstone they removed the gallbladder.

Sounds to me like you might have ulcers, maybe stress induced ulcers. I suggest you get lots of rest and take your mind off stressful situations......perhaps going fishing would help a lot.

Duane,
x3 on the ulcers - I had the same problem a couple years ago. I couldn't keep anything down for some reason. It was very scary not be able to eat because you think you might send it back up. Not fun!!! My problem was due to taking Vioxx(anti-inflammatory aka NSAID) and it had created an ulcer in my stomach. The problem went away after the ulcer went away because I stopped taking the Vioxx. Check with doc to see if you have an ulcer. I also have a CPAP and take antacids, but don't have problem anymore. Hope you feel better, maybe get a 2nd opinion from another doc if it persists.

I tried the acid hit the irritated stomach and esophagus and felt like I was having a heart attack,lurefisher was there he was trippin. I have had hearburn and acid reflux for years but ths regurgetated food crap is really drivin me nuts!! this is way different im scared to eat!! damn it just got cold outside and wet!!

My brother-in-law finally had to have surgery for his reflux. He was a pretty big ole boy and he fought with reflux for years. Got to the point where no medicine was working and they went in there and somehow fixed a valve that was allowing acid and food back up his esophagus. The surgery was really similar to weight loss surgery - not exactly sure of all the particulars but I know he lost about 85 lbs afterwords and doesn't have any problems anymore. Hopefully yours is not to that point!
