Stomach upset late in the day

by dogmom on Thu Dec 17, 2015 9:08 pm

My husband has been diagnosed with myeloma, and we are awaiting our appointment with the hematologist/oncologist the first week in January..holidays and all :( .

Late in the day his tummy feels upset and he burps a lot. He says it feels best early in the morning and breakfast and lunch are his best meals. He finds it hard to eat dinner. Any ideas?

He has not started any treatments yet so that is not it. Diagnosis made by lab test and symptoms alone. No bone marrow or free light chain test done yet. His last serum calcium done two weeks ago was 9.5.

Thanks

I wonder if it could be stress related? Heartburn? Several times I've had unexplained pains or symptoms, and TUMS is my first diagnostic tool.

We thought of this, Stan, so he has started taking Nexium. He has been taking it about 4 days but still no improvement. He hasn't thrown up, just feels nauseous.

Thanks for you help.
