i belive i had it for over a year with symptoms and never went to the health department because i was sexually active with someone whom i allways felt dirty being with in the first place so i felt it was just a infestiation of my mind, cause of course i never thought i had a disease.

but on may 5th i was treated with medicine i was taking two differnt kind of pills for about ten days. my frist treatment i didnt take seriously drinking liqour both night and day, so from what ive heard the alchol canceled out the medicine.

i went back and to the medicine again on may 21
i became sexually active with my current girlfriend for the fist time on may 26

i felt the medicine seemingly working on me up untill i had sex with this girl. i felt almost as if i was pushing a infection inside of her. which made me feel inturn horriable.

i was checked again on the 18th and got the results today
they came back negitive

i dont understand how this could be true since i still have symptoms.
secondly im not sure whether or not i gave it to her or not. we are both going back on the 30th for her to be tested and both take the medicine.

what the chances i passed it on to her. weve had sex several times.
and why did the test come up negitive

is this my mental complex acting up. im natural to anxiety and this is taking a toll on me.
i need to figure this out. i know its what i had a month ago how do i not have it supposnbly a month later if i had sex with someone four days after my treatment and your suppost to wait like two weeks.

theve tested my urine and its clean of all things. so because i had frequent urination and burning and itching for so long has it just set in my head that im infected. or is my uretha permently affected from the bacteria.

i really hope i just passed it on to her and thats the case. but it still doesnt explain how it came up negitive on these test results.

it really bothers me though about getting cured because i feel i will probley keep throwing up the medicine because ive gotten such a bad feeling from this std that my stomach has been hurting.
i feel like the symptoms of gerd. so before even taking the medicine i allready feel like im going to throw up.

i feel horriable everytime i think because i cant escape the feeling of my penis. its put so much stress on my body that im not even sure if ill be able keep the medicine down.
what am i to do?

I have been using Prilosec for the last 5 years after being diagnosed with GERD. Seemed to work great for a long time, now I still have acid reflux and I’m worried about the long term use of this stuff.
My Dr. says its fine to use. At the same time, I’m living everyday with chronic fatigue,daily headaches that turn to migraines,feeling miserable,aching everywhere- on top of that now sinus tachycardia and heart problems. Then I’m told well I have Fibromyalgia.
Ok, Randomly today I happen to run into 2 older ladies that flat out said, don’t use that Prilosec as I was in the CVS isle buying more.
One said she almost died from long term use of prilosec and for years had anemia and her iron was depleted. I’m scared now and would like to know if I can stop Prilosec suddenly and completely without withdrawl symptoms? The box says do not stop treatment.
That is for a 14 day dose. I’ve been taking it for years and now I’m worried.
Could using this for years have made my fatigue worse and feeling terrible and the migraines and heart trouble?
Could this have hurt my stomach or damaged anything.
I don’t want to depend on a drug to control acid and the GERD all day.

I was diagnosed and treated with a 10 day course of antibiotic treatment, no less than a week later the symptoms returned. I have moderate to severe episodes of nausea in the pit of my stomach and sometimes the pain is unbearable. I’m belching up lots of gas, my belly tends to become bloated from time to time and I’ve lost about 7 pounds within the last seven 7 months. I think i was misdiagnosed, my initial visit i was given pepcid, then prilosec for GERD which i am still taking. Should my doctor recheck to see if the H. PYLORI has resolved. Please advise.

Hello eveyone,I would like some speculations on my current
health problem addressed.In 2005 Dec,I came afflicted
with so called heartburn symptons.I have never previously
had any engages with it then suddenly,bam out of no where
my chest would stay firey all day long and stomach has remained warm/hot.I have taken many pump inhibitors,acid reducers and nothing alleviates the sympton not even a little
bit.I began to lose my appetite at onset but the only thing
the prescription prevacid restored was my appetite and
that’s it.Few years back my doctor had me on fiber because
he said it was low.Changed doctors back then and somehow
don’t remember staying on it and little concern about not
continuing it.I also had mutiple muscle spasm before the
gerd-like sympton and on current muscle spasm treatment.
I also recall doctor saying something about my liver long
time ago but think he said it was ok.I believe something
else is underlying or related.Does anyone have a clue?

Ok so I have gastric reflux, I got nexium for one a day and Domperidone 3 times a day for a month,ok so like one day after i finished the domperidon pills i felt no heart burn no stomach burning nothing.
My dad bough coke and brought Chinese take out i ate allot and drank some.
But now i have heart burn and burning sensation sometimes in my stomach.
Did i ruin the treatment should i go the docter?
I’m taking nexium now every morning but i dont see much difference.
Will i be healed?
should i wait one more month untill i finish the n treatment or should i go to the docter now?
My parents are allways busy.So i would not wanna go for nothing.
will this ever go away : (?

so i went to my college’s student health service and was given lorazapam .5 mg and was told to break it in half and take them at least 3 times a day, depending on my attacks. i was also told to take the pyschological counseling at our school but i am not sure if it will help. to me, medication seems to be the solution that i need to be effective, but my anxiety and panic attacks dont generally happen just as an attack, there is GERD involved which produces dry heaving and very severe gag reflex.
would medication and counseling really help my panic attacks that trigger GERD? i believe it is social anxiety, and i really hope this treatment will help me become better because it is very difficult to have dry heaving and gagging in public is not healthy for me. i can;t even eat out in public, because i fear of having an attack and people looking at me while i gag…
can anyone help?

hello may i need to know this test because of my gerd illness and i lika this test instead of an endoscopy test.Can you anyone give me a contact number to a gastro interologist available in chung hua hospital in cebu city.Please help me,i need treatment,any information is very much appreciated.Thank you very much.

Going to be as brief as possible: 21, male, healthy. Large build 230, 6′2. Drank wine a bit consistently for 5-6 months, no problems. Drank other hard liquor in the past, no problems. Tried Gin on June 6th, half a bottle (Seagram’s Extra Dry mixed with lemon juice and ginger ale..I don’t usually mix, was doing so for fun). Immediately noticed I had to keep taking deep breaths/out of breath sensation, stopped. Not sure if the Japanese food (sushi etc.) could’ve had an impact. Drank Jack Daniels and rot gut vodka before, so it was not a matter of tolerance or alcohol exposure.

Next day woke up to a feeling below the throat, felt like a constant need to cough. Went to the doctor…EKG, Chest X-Ray, Barium Swallow, Spirometer/Flow Meter (lung test), Gallbladder Liver scan, all negative. Endoscopy showed a very very small 3-4 cm sliding hiatal hernia, deemed asymptomatic (does not produce symptoms) as it was so small it didn’t even show on the Barium Swallow X-ray. Endoscopy showed no irritation, irregularities or inflammation. Allergy tests showed nothing, Clarinex did nothing.

Symptoms are: Constant cough/irritation between collar bones, murky/powdery stools (as if you were to flush powder from the bottom of the toilet bowl and it billows up), sinus congestion, excessive burping, extreme fatigue, minor heart palpitations, yellow/white coated tongue, hurts to take a deep breath. Spaced out/tired after eating, worse than the "after turkey meal feeling". Excessive salivation/sweet tasting salivation. Hear an intermittent sound like gas escaping through my esophagus to my neck when I lie down. No heartburn whatsoever. Odd sour taste at back of mouth.

No history of any problems, no history of hypochondria, not psychological (Ativan and other sedatives did nothing). Antibiotics did nothing.

A homeopath suggested Nux Vomica, did nothing but calm me mentally.

Acid reflux/GERD was suggested, took Prilosec, Zantac, Pepcid AC, no effect. Moved to PPI’s (strongest stuff they got), Protonix/Aciphex/Zegerid, did nothing.

It has been 2 months, the symptoms persist despite diet changes. Suggestions regarding a decrease in weight were made. Factors of environment include mold under my water bed that has grown over the years due to frequent popping of the tubes. A plan to replace the bed is underway. It has been suggested that the mold is causing this, or perhaps a Candida Albicans yeast overgrowth, however, the reaction to the Gin was sudden, instant, and very acute. I felt no symptoms whatsoever prior to consumption.

5 doctors, a gastroenterologist, a pulmonary specialist, 10 health coach’s/nurses from the insurance company, a renowned medical researcher, and a famous health expert who exposed a pharmaceutical scam had no clue whatsoever, and were completely baffled.

I have gotten some guidance from a Chinese medicine woman/acupuncturist and am undergoing treatment through TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Nevertheless, I am asking for your opinions. Do not tell me I have "GERD" or "acid reflux disease", those ailments are not diseases, and my symptoms/tests defy such a diagnosis. I am more knowledgeable about Acid Reflux/GERD than most doctors at this point, and I know I don’t have it. I know every test used to detect it, and every "health tip" recommended for it, so don’t waste my time or yours by spamming it.

I am looking for alternative causes.

Thank you
Looking for more answers

Hi, I am 38 weeks pregnant and was diagonsed last week with mild preeclampsia, then put on modified bed rest. For the past couple of days, when I am laying down instead of sitting, it feels like something is sitting on my chest and it burns when I breathe. I’m fairly certain it isn’t GERD, because I’ve had that for months now and it feels different. It doesn’t matter what side I lay on. I’ve tried to call the Dr.’s office, but so far have only gotten voicemail and no call back. It isn’t terrible, but it is noticeable and makes it difficult to sleep. Has anyone heard of symptoms like these before? I was thinking about calling L&D at the hospital, but I generally get the "paranoid pregnant woman" treatment and was wondering if this is just something that comes with late pregnancy. Any ideas?? Thanks for any input!
GERD is acid reflux. So far it doesn’t matter how I lay it has the same result, and it mostly is my Dr. who treats me like I’m hysterical every time I ask him whats up with some strange symptom. I’m pretty aggitated that I called them 2 days ago and have gotten no call back. If it wasn’t so late in the game I would SO change doctors. I’m really uncomfortable at this point, so I’m wondering if its just that or something more serious…
