i will be 39 weeks pregnant in 2 days… and i still cant believe how bad i get heartburn… it hurts sooo bad, its unbelievable. it hurts to swallow, burp, breath, anything. and nothing seems to take it away. and it seems when i do take tums it gets worse before it gets better.. its horrible.. does heartburn go away after delievery??

For some number of months now I’ve been having acid heartburn on and off, now almost everyday. I was given Omeaperzole by dr so reduce stomach acid but didn’t take them as not one for medications as worry about side effects. So resorted to Gaviscon. This helps for a while but doesn’t cure it. Dr said its excess stomach acid and prescribed me Omeaperzole about 6 month ago but still laying in cupboard. I keep worrying it may be stomach cancer, but unlikely as still a young age and got good appetite and no weight loss. Been tested for Helicobacter as well but all clear. Could it be an ulcer? Should I try and take the tablets? Or try and change my diet first?

Gerd or something else?

also every once in a while teethpain or lower jaw sharp pain.

Sometimes my sugar does get in the 200-300 but mainy under 200.So it could be that also which I need to loose weight.

Also sore muscles like arms and side of chest and chest.

I have these chest pains in the area of my chest where my ribs come in (that V area, where your diaphram is?) and a little to the left. Sometimes its lower, and more the the right of my upper stomach. Sometimes it burns, sometimes it hurts. I have a little bit of backpain too. The whole thing gets worse when i lay down.

I don’t eat much, im underweight.

My doctor told me to take Zantac 75 two times a day, but I’m scared too :\ I’m worried it’s something else.

I’ve always had heart burn (GERD) issues.

I’m a girl, 14, so it’s not a heart attack.

Does this sound like heartburn to you? Where is heartburn located? Should I take Zantac?

Thanks so much xx

Can gerd or anxiety mimic heart attack because i have been having left arm pain and hand and numbness also shortness of breath and nausea and a little chest every once in a while either ringing in ears or?I have had 3 different times and doctors 1 said gas 1 said anxiety and 1 said gerd they all three said it seems like gas chest pains or related and weight or anxiety makes it worse.This year I have had 2 chest xrays,4 ekgs different times of the year and a blood test in the machine and they also took about 4 extra viles for testing each time fine.Also sore chest or arm muscle lower back pain only when i walk along time which is probably normal for i am obese.anyone have anything like this where you keep going to the hospital because your mind races on a health issue and all test come back normal?Thanks.
chest pain achy sharp pressure not really
stress definatly makes worse
also diareeha
oh also facial or jaw or teeth pain
also pain behind my upper arm.

I went to the Dr and he said I had a virus, but I also lost my voice. He gave me pills to take. Did not get any better so went to a alleregist, right away he ask if I had heartburn, I said yes alot lately. He told me I had acid reflux still can not talk but geting treated. Has this happen to anyone else.

Since saturday night i have been not feeling well i been having random numbness in my arm,non stop burping and chest pains. The chest pains vary from the upper right side like right above my breast to the left side same spot down to the middle of my chest on the right or left side.I was a little nervous so i went to the hospital last night and they did a ECG and they said my heart was fine the test came back fine so he told me it was just heartburn(acid reflux) and gave me meds. All day today with taken the med i still had the burping and the random chest pains(mostly hurting when i move a certain way). I went to sleep tonight and before bed my back was hurting bad and i went to sleep and woke up an hour later to a really bad chest pain and i was sweating like crazy. I stopped sweating but my chest still hurts alittle and my shoulder,my back is fine now.

My question is was the ECG enough or should they have given me a chest x-ray also? Im really scared

ok so i’ve had gerd for a few weeks now i ended up in the ER with chest pains. they did lab work urine test xrays 2 ekgs they think it’s not my heart but Gerd that showed up in an upper gi. now they are sending me too a gastroenterologist i guess a specialist for acid reflux disease. i was curious if anyone has ever been too one and what test might they do if any? what type of questions do they ask?

I’ve read that antacids have a risk of overdose. I have extremely bad GERD and have found that taking calcium carbonate supplements are effective at treating. Sometimes I wind up taking an extra couple chewable tablets than recommenced (containing only calcium carbonate) and was wondering if this really is posing a risk to my health, or if, like most other medications, in practicality a few extra wont do damage.
I am currently also taking 40mg protonix (proton pump inhibitor) daily

Is it completely different from acid reflux? I feel kinda crappy this afternoon, sort of like chest pains right in the center of my chest, but not sure if that’s what heartburn feels like.
Ahh, then this probably isn’t heartburn. Thanks!
