I feel excessive hunger all day and even night along with heartburn and abdominal pain for the last 3wks, gained 20lbs. whats wrong?

Could be an ulcer: Your symptoms are not extremely specific. One possibility would be a duodenal ulcer. It tends to make you want to eat because the food buffers the stomach acid which is what irritates the ulcer. But there are numerous possibilities including hypoglycemia and various hormonal disorders. Such a rapid weight gain could also be related to fluid retention. You need to get evaluated.
