it's been like this for at least a few months...
basically it just feels like there's always gobs of acid in my stomach that's too intense for even its lining to handle. also for some reason it's worst when I first wake up in the morning. it's not as bad once I've been up and around for 10mins or so.

You should be asking your doctor that question. There are lots of things that can cause those symptoms. Some of them are no big deal, and can be addressed with a different diet or not eating late at night, or with over the counter stuff. There are other, more serious, potential causes, so you should have the doc check it out.

When I was around 18 I had that problem. It was ulcers from stress poisoning.
I dumped the bitch, made some changes in my lifestyle and drank a bottle of Mylanta a day.
Eventually the excessive pain mellowed out. I still have to manage my stress level or I get hotgut.

EDIT you should probably go see your doctor. I don't think anybody here on ATOT is an expert in gastrinology.:)

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. You will most likely die.

Seriously, why would you ask that question here? Go to a doctor.

I don't know if it's as bad as acid reflux. I mean isn't that supposed to be really painful? what I have isn't really like a BURNING pain - just aches all the time
