its driving me mad.i hate chalky remedies.ive spent a fortune on tablets that do nothing.i get it regularly whatever i eat or drink it just starts and sleeping is difficult i have to have a stack of pillows.

Is it even really healthy for you? Are there any medical tests that state its good for you?

A few years ago I went on a strict diet and lost weight safely. A few months in to the diet after eating alot of fresh pineapple, I started developing a really uncomfortable pain at the top of my stomach, right where the rib cage separates in front. It is kind of a throbbing pain that only happens, now, if I eat fresh pineapple more than 1 day. I eat chocolate, spicy foods, and other citrus and acidic foods regularly and have no symptoms, just with the fresh pineapple. I even have eaten it with cottage cheese to lessen the discomfort because I love it so much. I don’t think it is heartburn because I don’t get any discomfort in my esophogus or any bad taste, etc. Dr. gave me 1 month of Nexium a few yrs ago but it didn’t do much and antacids don’t touch it. I didn’t have any tests done, but I miss my pineapple, and need to diet again and want to do it safely without hurting my digestive tract. Any ideas?

I join the Marines in a month, I get heartburn sometimes really bad. I take a heartburn pill daily now. When i get in I fig with not smoking and drinking along with exercise and the proper nutrition it will go away

Im 28/ female and i have been having feelings in my chest of not beeing able to breath, but i can ( a tight feeling) and some chest pain with burning sensations in my throat. The doctor has ru tests on me including heart tests. Now they are telling me that they think i have GERD. Does gerd cause the chest tightness feeling? Has anyone else experienced this?

My acid reflux actually splashes all the way up to the back of my throat, and it’s alot. When this happens more often I tend to have this burning feeling when I swallow as though I had just drank bleach. How can I heal that faster??
I’m on NEXIUM already and it did get better then it got worse.

I am 27 weeks and have been having bad heartburn. I take Tums when it comes on and even sleep with the bottle next to my bed. It doesn’t seem to matter what I eat. Anyone have any other suggestions besides Tums?

i have chest pain and some palpitations 3 months ago. my doctor requested a chest xray and the result was normal. i was not satisfied so i insist for an echocardiogram even though im only 20 yrs old male. the result was normal echocardiographic and doppler findings. sometimes i have shortness of breath and nausea. is it possible that i have heartburn? im nauseous every after meal. i smoke 6-8 sticks a day.

I have been diagnosed with GERD and I rarely drink. But tomorrow is a big party and I would like to drink. I won’t drink anymore then probably 5-6 beers, I am a light weight. I’ve drank in the past and I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach pain, but it passes. Can I take a Ranitidine ( A.K.A. Zantac) will that help? Please help
