I believe there’s some interaction between Allegra and antacids. I was given Prevacid for GERD symptoms but still need Allegra for allergies, didn’t have a chance to discuss this with my doc.

I feel like I have food stuck in my throat when I eat solids. It started out with a potato chip. My ENT says I have GERD with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. I’ve been on Prevacid twice a day and Pepcid Complete with very little relief. I have been on mashed potatoes and pudding and just liquids for 2 weeks. The nurse says I CAN eat solids with no problem that it’s just that I’ve built up fear to eat. Yeah I do have fear to eat; however I am also eager to eat! I’d rather eat mashed potatoes than to feel like I have something stuck in my throat. It feels like it’s stuck on the left side of my throat. The ENT looked down my throat with a mirror and said my esophagus and vocal cords were very irritated-2wks ago. If anyone has had this problem please help.

Having a lot of physical & mental problems since last October. I’m being treated for GERD but my mental state started going down around the same time as my gerd symptoms showed up so one may have caused the other. I’m a single mother with two small children and I live in a city with no family or friends. I started having anxiety attacks at night with hands/legs shaking and an overwhelming sense of fear that my body is going to give out and I’m going to die. These attacks happen like once a month but these waves of fear that something is going to happen a lot. In my day to day I try to forget about my worries at work but when I’m with the kids or even by myself I sometimes feel like my life is not a real life. It’s hard to explain but I don’t know how to be happy with my life and raising my kids alone.

As a kid I remember having waves of fear sometimes and not being able to fall asleep even when nothing was really on my mind. Could I have always had a problem and not known it?
I returned from a plane trip last night and I freaked out on the plane. I wasn’t always nervous about flying but now I am. I sat down on the plane and I overheard the woman next to me saying on the phone to say a prayer for us since it was snowing where we were. I jumped up and told the flight attendant I wanted to get off. I was trembling and crying and she ended up taking 5 minutes to convince me that the plane was safe. For the rest of the flight, I had to pre-occupy myself by doing a crossword puzzle and not think about the fear. I’m worried this fear will get worse and worse with time and I’m too embarrased to talk about it with family or friends.

If you lie down after eating, is it only a problem if you suffer from heartburn/GERD, with people who don’t suffer from this being fine?

Also, can lying down cause heartburn/GERD symptoms, and therefore be cured by sitting up?

The other day I woke up with a pain in my chest, right behind the sternum. I thought it might be heartburn, because I’ve never had it before. But too many Tums and cups of Pepto Bismol later, I decided to look it up on the internet. I found GERD here: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/g/gerd/symptoms.htm

And the following symptoms match me:
Heart Burn(Maybe, i’m not sure what this is supposed to feel like)
Belching(more than usual)
Pain in the chest
Trouble Swallowing
Tight Throat
Dry Cough(Not very frequent, but more than before)
Increased by eating, but decreased by laying down.

If it is GERD, should I see a doctor?
If not, what could it be?

My stomach always hurts! It’s always full of gas. I don’t know how did this come to be because I never skipped meals. I always burp and fart. Sometimes, I am also experiencing chest pain. I was rarely experiencing heartburn before, but it stopped. My appetite also increased.

Could this be GERD or a more serious illness? What should I do?

I take Prevacid for GERD. It only says to take before eating. Is that before breakfast, lunch, or dinner? And can you tell me how to get Gerd symptoms better?

I am 40mg of Protonix twice daily. My problem is though, about 3-4 times a day my chest gets these very weird pains in them. More like pressure. And this also is on my throat. They uncomfort lasts about 20 minutes all the way up to 3 hours. Also, about once or twice a day my heart feels like its skipping a major beat. But I feel my pulse and it’s okay. Around 85-95 BPM. The uncomfort pretty much comes after I eat, and it feels like there is food maybe in my lower/mid esophogas. But these episodes with my heart feeling like its skipping beats really worries me. My anxiety is not an issue with this problem, I am on .25 mg of Xanax (Alprazolam) for that. But this uncomfort is really bugging me. It also kind of goes up my neck also. Which makes me think heart attack, but I’ve had every test done for my heart. All my blood work is okay, and my stress echo came back good as well. I just want to know if I’m having spasams in my esophogas or something else? Please help.
Also. This mostly happens at the end of the day. I dont believe it is stress related because I quit my job not too long ago, and I am okay financially. I get headaches a lot, and also strained vision.
One more thing. The acid is not a problem in my stomach anymore. I do not have so called "heartburn". The acid is kept down pretty well with the Protonix. Its the "episodes" where my throat and chest "freak out", or spasam? And the constant feeling of something in my throat. And it is very easy for me to vomit whatever I ate, even 4 hours afterwards. I hope this is enough information for you guys. Many answers would be nice.
And, also the constant pressure on my chest. I just want to know if this is gastro related or what? And if anyone has ever heard of this. It feels like I am short of breath, then all of a sudden I kind of burp, but it does not relieve the symptom.
