Hi, for the past 4 days I have been getting very bad heartburn which comes and goes despite medical treatment (prescribed and over the counter medicine.) I went to have an ECG scan today and told my heart rate and pulse are faster than the average heart and I have to go back next week and talk to my doctor about why my heart rate is faster etc…anyone heard of anything like this? Does it sound serious? The heartburn is driving me mad and interrupting my sleep and work x
Well I try to eat healthy meals like salads, roasts and stir frys a lot but also a few naughty things like crisps. My diet hasn’t really changed recently and I did used to drink alcohol but hardly any at all now so I’m confused. First time I have ever suffered persistent heartburn! x

Has anybody mistaked either of these for heart problems? Any suggestions on how to take care of it? And how old can you get it?
How long can you keep it if left untreated? Days? Weeks? Months?

Lately I’ve been having horrific heartburn. I usually get it once or twice a month. This past month it has been on a near daily basis for the past few weeks. I’m trying to change my diet to help me eat healthier and feel better. But apparently it is helping to cause some really terrible pains. What are some of the causes everyone else has found for hearburn? I know I can easily go onto a website and find a list of normal things but everyone has different causes and outcome. I think mine may be from my new coffee addiction and the low fat foods. Foods with lower fat content have a much higher salt amount which is probably causing my pain!

What do you guys do to stop the pain and get some relief? I can only take so much Mylanta! And I have no insurance so a dr is not within my near future!

im 10 weeks prego and very sick and have heartburn what can i take besides tums or rolaids? is there anything else safe?

Does anyone have a good natural cure for heartburn? I just have this pain in my chest and the burps. Alka selzer is okay, but I’d like to try something new.

minute i was fine except had reflux a little and all of the sudden i had to run to the restroom and vomited. it shot out of my mouth, im not trying to be nasty but theres no other way to put it. after that i was fine the rest of the day except i had a little heartburn and gas. anyone have this problem

I had GERD problem about a couple of months ago. Too much coffee and soda caused it. A doctor recommended a edonscopy procedure and he found H.pylori bacteria and wants to have an appointment. Reading about it. 1 in 3 in the world population has this bateria. Now, I don’t have any digestive sympton, but I am worried that this bateric can be trasmitted to my kid. Has anyone had this bacteria and what was the treatment? I want to know about it before I see the doctor who is usually aggressive about removing batecria.

My lunch consisted of an apple, an orange, yogurt, and some piece of cheddar cheese. Now I have heartburn, and I can’t figure out why.

Is heartburn an early sign of Pregnancy? I’ve got a lot more symptoms but the past couple days this heartburn is almost unbearable! I took a hpt on Saturday but I shouldn’t have cuz its still way too early. Other symptoms are nausea (all the time!) constipation, frequent urination, headaches, moody….and TIRED! Even tho the hpt was a BFN could it have just been way too early I shouldn’t get by period til the 16th.
I guess the better question to ask is are all of these symptoms signs of pregnancy? including the heartburn. I don’t think I worded the question very well.
Thats funny cuz I had cereal this morning too and I think thats what gave me heartburn!

I weigh 176 am 5′5, have GERD, & am on medicine for underactive thyroid. I need a healthy diet & exercise program that can help me lose 50lbs. I cant bend over alot because of my GERD & need a regimen that allows me to burn calories safely. I also wanna tone my body while I lose the weight.
