Heartbeat in stomach?

Hi, I have a bit of a complex case but would appreciate all help I can get. We’ll start from the beginning. Last week, I had severe stomach pain, went to the ER, they did nothing, saw a GI and he put me on anti-ulcer meds and assumed I had ulcers (since I’ve had them before). Before this (and for about 3 years now) I’ve had severe pain in my lower left quadrant along with nausea, diarrhea and as said before, very severe pain. I had a colonoscopy done (but the doctor lost the pictures – I have switched) and they found nothing. Now, I’ve noticed today that there is a strong heartbeat in my upper abdomen. I could feel it standing and laying down. Here are some stats – I’m a 19 yr old female, 5’11", 141 lbs., 90-57 blood pressure (as of last friday) and otherwise healthy girl besides the stomach issues. If anyone can tell me why I could be having these heart beats in my stomach – it’s just a totally new thing and I’m so tired of feeling like my body is aging way before it’s supposed to. I see my GI on Thursday so I’ll definitely bring it up with him, but I haven’t been stressed, am definitely NOT pregnant (took 2 tests the other day) and a-ok. Let me know what you all think. Thank you very very much. I appreciate it.

Very sudden illness! Normal?

I know I just asked this in the pregnancy section, I’m just trying to cover all bases.

I had been feeling pretty average this morning, but not abnormally sick, so I decided to do some housework.
As soon as I came in from hanging washing on the clothes line, I had a funny lump in my throat, felt like I was going to throw up, and my heart started RACING!
On top of that, I had been a bit ‘clogged up’ for about 2 days (finally, something other than diarrhea!) but when the urge to throw up kicked in, so did the need to go ‘number 2′ (which thankfully, wasn’t diarrhea)
and I had/have some stomach cramps and upsets, with a few period like pains, and felt a bit shaky.

My heart rate has since settled, but the nausea and shakiness has not, and I am just in a bit of a daze, I wanted to faint for a minute!

Did I just over-do it for my stage in pregnancy, or is it worth letting someone know about?

Keep in mind this is all in the space of about 20 minutes.
Sorry if it seems like I’m being weak and what not, this has just never happened before!

And I never actually threw up, I just felt/feel like I need to.

What is a good diet for someone undergoing radiation?

I have started radiation for prostate cancer and diarrhea has started after my fourth treatment. I have been trying to eat a high fiber, low fat, tomatoes, whole wheat breads, no ice cream, some raw veggies, little red meat and lot’s of chicken.

This is a diet my wife and I started after her heart attack. What changes should I make?
I’ve tried Kopectate, God that stuff is horrible, the doctor recommended Immonium AD, it hasen’t been long enough to tell.
How about yogurt and DanActive?

What does a bland diet do for the stomach?

My doctor told me to eat a bland diet since I’ve been having diarrhea (sorry, had to menton it). But I don’t know why. What’s the purpose of a bland diet?

And another question: what happens if I take too much antacids for my stomach? Is this the reason why I’ve been having diarrhea in the first place? :-/

Thanks for answering!
