[gunnerpete]

Hi, Lately I have been awakened by intense burning from my left side and abdomen all the way to my toes. It is follwed by a mssive throbbing in my chest and stomach. It only happens if I turn over in my sleep. It goes away after 15 minutes when I sit up. Ive also noticed that during the burning I have a swelling the size of half a tennis ball just to the left of my navel. This also is painful and takes some time to reduce.
