My first indication that the medication is wearing off is a "churning" feeling in my stomach. I would describe the feeling as like being very pregnant and feeling arms and legs pushing from the inside out, especially on my right abdominal area. I know this is kind of a crude description, and men obviously cannot relate, but it explains it best for me. If I wait too long to take medication, I get a very bloated, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful reaction as well. I have internal tremors and wonder if this is why I have this symptom. Obviously, since it is muscular (I would think), it isn't something that an antacid would help. I just have learned to watch the clock when taking meds. I am wondering if this is possibly what your mother is experiencing. We are all so different, one never knows. I wish your mother the best.
