i have sharp shooting pain on the left side of my chest, into my neck and shoulder for about a week. When It started I went to the er- they diagnosed me with GERD and sent me home. I went back a few days later after no relief- I had an ekg done as well as a chest xray. both of which were normal. I thought maybe it could be indigestion but antacids (pepto, zantac and prevacid) are not helping. I was given a prescription of naprosyn and vicodin. The vicodin does not help however the naprosyn does. I am going to see my family doc on monday.. but the thought of not knowing exactly what is going on is driving me nuts! Does anyone have any thoughts

We have a 3 year old beagle mix whose medical and other hx is unknown prior to January. He vomits approximately once a week, has had 2 seizures (since April), and had heart worm previously. Ideas of causes? We are thinking GERD, or something brain or heart related? We are going back to the vet soon, but would like some guidance if anyone has had a similar experience.
He is otherwise healthy and happy. Goes for approximately 3-4 walks a day…active and playful…great appetite. Still sensitive and we believe he may have been abused or abandoned.

For the past 6 moths or so, in the evenings and at night I will get some pain/discomfort in my left chest area and also goes to my left arm, in my left armpit area and my back sometimes. Its not terrible pain but more discomfort and very scary at times. In the 6 months I have had 3 EKGs, 3 rounds of blood work and chest x rays and there is no indicator of a heart problem. There is no family history either. I do have GERD and have been without my Nexium(none of the other GERD meds work) for about 3 weeks now, in which time these episodes have occured almost every night. I have been able to counter-act the effects of not having my Nexium with an adjusted diet. I am 27 years old, I do smoke, I am considered "morbidly obese" at 6 ft and about 350 lbs, however I do have a naturally large frame but I do have quite a gut, lol (imagine a football linebacker with a big round belly). All my extra weight seems to be in my stomach. I do not have fat hanging off of my body and people are beyond shocked when they hear my wieght…they always say "Where is it all at"? lol. I am very considerate of my diet and moniter very closely my daily caloric intake. I had a blood test to test my cholesterol level about 6 or 7 months ago and was told that it is slightly elevated to where I COULD develop Pre-Diabetes if I dont adjust my diet, which I have since done. So basically, the doctors who administered the tests I have had blame these episodes on my GERD and/or anxiety. I was diagnosed with anxiety about 8 years ago but it seemed to go away after a brief run of meds to control it. I have researched alot and seen MANY other conditions that may contribute to these episodes, but being currently uninsured, I cannot go have a run of tests done to pinpoint the problem. If you have had a similar problem, please share with me…Symptoms? Tests? Diagnosis? Treatments? Thanks.

Well this is what I daily take each day for my health: In the Morning I Take 2 puffs of QVAR 80mcg for Asthma, Then I Take as a Daily Supplement 2 Fish Oil Capsules just for heart health (even though tests show my heart is ok), At Night I take 10mg of ELAVIL( It’s a Trycilic Antidepressant) to help me with sleep and sometimes for chronic pain), Note that I DO NOT take antidepressants for depression or anxiety. AND then later At Night I Take ZANTAC one 150mg pill for Mild GERD. Now, sometimes I dont even take the Zantac pill because sometimes I don’t get any GERD symptoms at all. My Doctor is all aware of what I am Taking and Tells me That everything I’m Taking is OK for me to take. It’s just that, sometimes I feel that I’m taking alot of stuff and I’m still at young age, just 19 YEARS OLD. I just wanna take care of my health, thats all. I have never drink, smoke, or done drugs. I am overweight. So what do you think? Do you think is too much of what I’m taking or is ok and i shouldn’t worried?

My Gerd is constant all day?
So a few months ago, I went to the hospital and they told me I had gerd, I also have terrible anxiety and Emetophobia, which is a constant worry for me everyday.. Last July my family got stomach flu and since then vomiting is a constant worrie for me all day everyday.. Since last july i have lost 70lbs due to the fact that since then my gerd has been worse and I barely eat.. I stopped drinking pop and eating sweets, its been about a year. I barely eat.. My worry is, is that lately my gerd symptoms have been worse. I feel the burps trapped in my throat and this ickyness in my throat which constantly is there. I feel weirdness in my stomach, and my stomach is constantly bloated lately?? the bloat wont go away, I also havent had a regular bowl, just the runs.?? One night recently I had this pain in my stomach and also my back starts to hurt and my chest, pains in my chest too.. Im getting worried.. This has become a constant thing everyday.. Also this month my period was irregular it was about 2wks late and it lasted only 2-3 days I bled on and off too.. Im very worried I go to the dr monday to find out the problem, Im just curious if anyone knows what the problem could be, or if anyone has had similar problems and can tell me what this sounds like.. Thanks!!

I have a friend whose constantly getting sick, almost 3-4 times a week if not more. Its been going on like this for almost 10 years now.
Symptoms:
Attacks of nauseousness causing gaging, hot flashes, sometimes throwing up.
Heavy violent coughs (heavy smoker)
Also frequent bowl movements and says it gets like this often if he hasnt gone to the washroom.
We think anxiety may have a hand in this but are not sure.
I’ve searched online i don’t think it’s GERD or LPR.
what do you think?

Are they the same thing? I’ve been having pains in my chest & out my back. And also feels like a huge lump in my throat. It really hurts bad! I also seem to be burping alot My Doc is making me get an upper GI. I guess to check for acid reflux? What exactly is that? Does my symptoms sound like that to you? What aggrivates it? Any certain foods to stay away from? or that are good for it? Thanks!
I love milk & Diet Pepsi!! ooooops!!

I’ve been having GERD for a month and my symptoms will primarily excessive saliva that accumulates in my throat. I can’t swallow it or get it out so I have some difficulty getting a deep breath and swallowing. Last week, I had some chest pain and occasionally heart burns.

My insurance doesn’t cover the tests (small bowel UGI) that I need to take.

About 10 days ago, I started noticing something strange. It felt like my heart would, occasionally, skip a beat. After a couple days of this, I realized that, with only a few exceptions, each sensation would be followed by a belch. I’ve had acid-reflux for 7 years, but I’ve never known it to affect me in this way. Part of me thinks that it’s just a new developmental symptom of GERD, while another part of me wants to see a doctor to rule out heart problems. Has anyone else experienced this symptom with GERD?
I should also say that I’ve never known myself to have a skipping heartbeat before, so i can’t say for sure that’s what the sensation feels like.

okay so I have a doctors appoint on the 23rd but I just wanted to see if anyone else has gotten an answer with these symptoms

I had a heartburn feelings/tight chest, stomache aches, nausea, shortness of breathe, constant belching, backpain.

if anyone else who has had these symptoms got an answer could you please let me know thanks

if you need to know im and 18 year old female
