Heartburn No More

Eliminate Heartburn Pain In 2 Day! Doctor & Drug Company Hate This!

Gerd Treatments Archives

So the Physician’s Order says this:

”Admit to floor: Dx: ORIF (L) Hip 1 day ago
Secondary Dx: Systolic HTN; COPD; Anemia; GERD; OA; Cardiac Dysrhythmia; HemiArthroplasty Left Hip (2006)
Diet: Regular as tolerated. Ensure Supplements BID
Vital Signs every 8 hours
RT Nebulizer treatments QID with Atrovent 0.5 mg
NWB lower left extremity
SCDs with knee high TEDs
OOB with close supervision/assist
PT/OT: Eval and Treat”

But when I fill out the student jot sheet, there’s a blank for primary Dx, and another blank for procedures

I’m so confused. I thought ORIF was the procedure this simulated patient just had… so why would it be Dx? I thought ‘hip fracture’ would be in the Dx blank and the ORIF would be in the procedures part

Diganosed Gerd 3 months ago And IBS with lower right side abdomen pain 1 months ago.

i spent 7 days in hospital this past February due to asthma. 11 days ago i started to have trouble with wheezing and tightness in my chest. i also was having my voice began to get hoarse. went to dr, was given a steriod shot, breathing treatment and placed of prednisone. i continued to get worse to the point, i was unable to be understood when i would talk. i could breaoth in ok, but would wheezing and have chest tightness on breathing out.. was told on monday that i needed to be in hospital, so i went. oral steriods, anitboitocs also breathing treatments every 4 hours. one dr said it was in my chest the other pulmo dr said no its in her throat and its due to sleep apena and gerd. i have not had symptons of gerd and not really sure about the sleep apena thing, since i have had asthma since i was 3. any opinoins or suggestions.

These are the symptoms:
-Dry Cough
-Sore throat
-Feeling a little breathlessness
No fever, stuffy nose, headache, or greenish mucus in my cough or my nose..
So what is it? I went to my doctor and he gave me Azithromycin 5 day Dose pack because he THOUGHT it could be a bacterial infection, since I’ve been complaining to him about this for a while now. I took the treatment for the 5 days, and I still feel kinda sick. So yeah, going to see my doctor was not a great idea. He always prescribes me antibiotics because he thinks that’s the solution, but I think he’s not using his brain..So it makes me not want to go back and see him. I just want to try to help myself on what could it be that is causing this to me…I do have Asthma and GERD and they are both under control with treatments Qvar and Aciphex, and, I was on Claritin but it wasn’t helping too much so I stop it…So any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m a male 26 yrs old and suffering from GERD(acidity n gastric problem) since 2005. Tried a lot of medicines allopathic(mainly PPI like nexium, but used only for shot terms like 1-2 month as i heard the long term use will cause hip fractures n other things) , aurvedics and homoeopathic, nothing gave any permanent solutions. When i read about the ACV’s treatment for GERD, i m now intrested in trying this treatment. Can you please tell me which brand ACV should i take and how much time, how to take all the other information related to this?

15 week old red in face and screaming?

my son is currently on nutramigen which he was doing great on but it seems like his colic is back and in treatment for gerd but now it seems he is red especially around the eyebrows and cannot be consoled I dont believe he is teething and cant figure out what to do

Well about a month ago, I had went to due to doctor for treatment because I had heartburn, and it had bugged me. After a hospital visit on a Sunday, I was told I had GERD. Though the doctor said I can possibly get rid of it if I lose weight and change my diet. (Course, I started to follow it). Then I was prescribed Pepcid AC to cope with it and Maalox(If I chose to add it)

It’s been bout a month, and I feel better. But I still have a minor flareup in the afternoon, and my stomach acts up a bit, probably due to acid. But get this, it doesn’t happen in the morning or at night. Just the afternoon

Anyone who had GERD or have it under control, what should I do? I would say a checkup with a family doctor, however I’m currently uninsured at the moment. (And please, don’t state the obvious)

I was unfortunately stopped at a Border Patrol station while moving from California to Florida. I was asked to submit to a search cause a dog alerted them to something. They explained that the dog was trained to alert for smuggled people and narcotics and i asked what a smuggled person smells like, or if they smell different then a non smuggled person or me? I then indicated i had marijuana in the car, and it was medical from california and had the paperwork along with real medical documents along with MRI, xrays, doctor reports, (Cancer patient, and spinal surgery patient)

I was moving from California and had everything i owned in the car as i had lost my home, and my family. I had my cat with me, (which i wish i didnt have, but again, no family to take her)… anyways. i was arrested after they found the pot, whic was exactly where i told them, and it was sealed and not used during the trip and was inaccessible from the driver seat.

the wanted me to sign an inventory list of four items, and when i indicated there was more then four things in the car they got upset and explained they had to inventory everything, including my underwear??? They explained it was a general description of the inventory, and i stated if they wrote that or something like that then i would sign.

but again, they said they couldnt be general of ambiguous. and i said i couldnt sign a paper that was incomplete, and what would happen if someone stole my tools, or my stereo, or my underwear… It was everything i owned.. I had sold and given away everything that didnt fit into my car…

they went and did an inventory, and even dropped stuff and boxes and a wrapped lamp.. an antique that was one of the only ‘things’ that i kept from my grandmother.. it was a hand painted lamp with cast metal base. it was wrapped in padding and bublewrap and shrink wrap.. they stated that even if they open it up and found it was broken they wouldnt know if it was broken before i wrapped it and then they woudnt be able to wrap it up after??? and i would have to continue the trip with it unprotected???

anyways, after that they told me i was arrested, and i spent the next 3-1/2 days in jail wihtout any medication, no, not the pot, my cancer medication, my blood pressure meds, my depression meds, my gerd meds… and of course the real prescription pain meds from the cancer treatments.. not the pot.. of course..

i bailed out and had to pay for towing of my car and impound fees… so after i bailed out, i had to wait another day and spend a night in a hotel, and then the next morning i went back and had to wait 5 hours although i was the only one at the police station trying to get my car… but apparently it takes 5 hours to process that paperwork.

anyways. its now been 4 months, and nothing… my public defender, who is the local lawyer who picks up the cases or is assigned cases, (I dont think it is pro bono as he said he is contracted to the county or area for this cases)? indicated a few things…

he told me that although i had less then an ounce, they border police and the local police indicated i had more then 4 ounces… if i had less then an ounce i would have been given a ticket… but for four ounce or more it is jail time…

he said the case should be dismissed but if they lied about the qty, they might find an extra 3 ounces to make sure the qty matched the report???

he also said they have no right to speedy trial thing there as they are in the boon docks and have to share judges and court room staff… so it may take a while?

what is up with my case? what are my options? will i have to go back to texas for this to be dismissied? will i always have this on my record? Should i go to trial and make them lie and produce the evidence? Can the prosecuting atty reduce the charges to less then ounce? Will he giv eme credit for time served and will that be enough? Will he plea bargain the sentance down to less then an ounce? And should i take that? or should i make him charge me for the 4 ounces and end up chaning it to less then an ounce the day before the court trial?

will i always have an arreest on my record if it is ‘dismissed’? how will this affect me if i go to different countries? (I bought a boat in florida and planned on sailing away from the US and visiting south america and the Virgin Islands, not just teh US islands?

i already found out i can never get a ‘Captains license’ as there are rules about ARRESTS and Narcotics and Vehicles…. which sucks, cuase you can have an arrest for narcotics aand an arrest for vehicls something, but not both…

how long will all this take to pan out?
my apologies for nto detailing my attempt to take ‘responsibility’..

I did and was trying to be polite and i did apologize to the border patrol officers and to the local police and jail personnel, and i was cooperative and all that as i know medical marijauna is not legal in Texas and many other states.

and although i understand and believe a lot of folks use the MEDICAL excuse as a reason to smoke and get high i do not… I had smoked pot when i was younger, (low 20’s) and quit for 35 years… i was told / suggested to smoke when the doctors started prescribing morphine and i had problems staying awake and performing normal acticvities.

When i smoke now, (if and when ican find it), i usually take about 3 hits/tokes, after dinner and then reads and fall asleep. sorry if that upsets your senseibilities… but the alternative is to take hard narcotics and to be on assistance, either govt or insurance…

I didnt know i was being charged for 4 ounces until i was released, and thoug

enlisting in military, surgery question?

Hi, I received this mail from MEPS stating that I wont need a medical waiver for this listed at the end? I just want to clarify things. So I just do the hernia repair and wait 6 months and I dont need a medical waiver? to anyone who knows, what does this exactly mean? thank you!

Department of Defense Instruction 6130.03, Medical standards for Appointment,
Enlistment, or induction in the Armed Forces, dated April 28, 2010, regarding
both the condition you describe and the surgical treatment for it, states the
following:

a. Esophageal Disease

(2) Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (530.81), with complications,
including stricture, or maintenance on acid suppression medication, other
dysmotility disorders; or chronic or recurrent esophagitis (530.1) [is
disqualifying].

g. Abdominal Wall

(1) Current hernia (except for small or asymptomatic umbilical hernias),
including but not limited to uncorrected inguinal (550) and other abdominal
wall hernias (553) [is disqualifying].

(2) History of open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery (CPT 22900-22999,
43500-49999) during the preceding 6 months (P54) [is disqualifying].

This means that if you were to undergo surgery, you would be disqualified for
6 months after its completion. You would also have to provide copies of all
medical treatment records concerning the disorder and its treatment at the
time you submitted your medical pre-screen form to the Military Entrance
Processing Station. A waiver request does not appear to be necessary.

Very respectfully,
