Do I have stomach cancer? |

Dear Ask The Doctor: Please help me. I am phoning my local doctors also. Do you think I have stomach cancer? I'm really worried. I've been suffering from recurrent bouts of painful integestion. At first I thought it was chest pain and had my heart checked out. My heart was fine and my doctor told me it could be acid reflux. She gave me a stool sample test and told me to bring it in but being so relieved my heart was ok I didn't do the test. Now, because of google and more symptoms I'm realising I have a lot of symptoms of stomach cancer although from what I can see the symptoms of stomach cancer and reflux are very similar. This is how I feel: Main symotom - recurrent bouts of painful integestion type feeling (kind of in my diaphragm) This happens as and when. Try as I might, I have no been able to pin point a certain thing or time in the day I get it. It seems to come randomly. Excess gas - In the form of flatulence not so much burping. Hoarsness in the morning. Coughing. Feeling tired all the time. Feeling full quicker than normal. Aches and Pains. Uncomfortable stomach. Feeling sick. I do not often have acidity rising into my mouth and my pains are not relieved by antacids. I am obese. I've never actually been sick. I've been experiencing these symptoms for at least a year maybe two. I'm terrified, please help! Dear Erica: Please check back here frequently for a response to your question.
