Can GERD pain last for 5 days straight?

I went to the hospital on Saturday for abdominal pains (also had chest pain, lower back pain, groin/leg pain). They said they thought it was GERD. Since then I’ve been taking Omeprazole (Prilosec) and I’m still having abdominal pain for most of the day every day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to a different doctor. They missed something.
All to many of our pains in our stomachs are due to pressure on the nerves where they leave the spine that are there because of pinched muscles in the back. Something that isn’t being touched by pain type relievers should be looked at as being structural. Here is how you can release your back muscles which is going to get you some relief no matter what:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
