transient abdominal and chest pain is a common side-effect of ranitidine. This, combined with what is most likely indigestion, likely explains your symptoms.

Best regards and Good Health

Hi

I decided not to take the ranitidene today.  It was a really intense pain, it did feel like badly trapped wind and like I wanted it to feel it bubble away.

Thats how I sometimes make myself feel a little better, by thinking I'm not alone, It can get quite depressing knowing theres not normally a day that goes past that you don't have something! Alot of people do some don't notice it, some just don't let it get to them, I bet every second person we pass has something wrong, weather it be back problems or IBS.

I have been feeling a bit breathless, but I've been more anxious lately and it's so windy and damp here at the moment.  

Got to re-take my glucose blood test, as last batch they told me not to fast, so had eaten some jam on toast before hand, it come back normal along with all the others, but they want me to do a fasting one, I can't see how one slice of Raspberry Jam on toast would make much difference?

Also have to go back to see the doctor, and say I do not want to take to tablets he's prescribed.  I feel good a couple of weeks a month, so really I don't want to be taking tablets that have side effects when I'm having a good few weeks, I need something for the weeks I'm feeling bad.  These tablets he's prescribed have a whole page of side effects and can pretty much effect every organ of your body!   Also you have to wean yourself of them.  How many times do I have to tell them I do not want to take these sort of tablets, I wish the'd listen to me about the one RLR has said about, I know i'd have to take all the time, mind you my IBS has been the other way since the Gastroenteritus,  Maybe the drugs not as recognised over here or it's expensive and we all know how the British Health system like to palm you off with the cheapest drugs first. You know it's really quite frightening at the moment, hospitals are riduled with MRSA and other super bugs, so if you have to go into hospital your taking a chance literally!
They employ school leavers of immigrants as there cheep labour to clean the hospitals the've had no training some not cleaned much in there lives but their cleaning hospitals, when I took my daughter to have her eyes checked last, I tidied the play area, all the toys are dirty the floor under the shelves which are not heavy as I moved one had thick dust and crumbs underneath, A childrens play area in a hospital! people with MRSA are being aloud to walk around wards, it's discusting!  The worst thing of it is we can't do nothing about it!  I can't afford to go private.

Sorry just need a moan off.
