Despite being queasy, I’m also experiencing heartburn, and I’ve not really been the type of person to get it from eating foods—also I’ve not been eating any acidic foods that might cause it.

Other than morning sickness, is heartburn related in early pregnancy signs?

I take Aciphex everyday for my indigestion problems, like acid reflux, yesterday I didn’t take it in the morning like I usually do, but I took it at night. Before that I had already had hiccups like 4 or 5 times, and even after taking the Aciphex I had it like 2 or 3 times more, very frequently. What could it be?

I was prescribed 2.5 mg Norvasc for mild hypertension and am nervous because I already take armor thyroid for reduced thryoid function and Nexium for GERD. Is it safe to take all of this? What kind of side effects should I expect?

What effects does GERD have on a DUI breathalizer
I was informed by a medical Dr. that GERD effects on a breathalizer, would raise the alcohol level, by reading the level in the stomach instead of the lungs. What I need to know, is by how much does It raise the level?

Yesterday, I woke up at 5am with sharp stomach pains that alternated with sharp pains near my breastbone. I went to the Dr because I was really worried, but she didn’t seem to think it was anything serious. She suggested it may be heartburn.

Today, my stomach feels alright and I don’t have the sharp pains anymore, but I still have a dull pain directly under my breastbone. It seemed better this morning, and got a little worse as the day went on. I really don’t know how to describe the pain, it just feels sore and dull.

I was thinking it could be acid reflux or GERD, but I don’t really fit the profile. I am 19 years old, thin, and I eat really well. I really don’t eat anything spicy or fried or heavy that would irritate it. I do, however, have a past history of anorexia but I’ve been doing better and putting on weight. I have NEVER purged though, so I really don’t know if my eating disorder has anything to do with it. Also, I occasionally get a sour taste or burp up acid, or feel like stuff is coming up my esophagus, which I know are signs of GERD.

What do you think is wrong with me? I know it’s bad to get medical advice over the internet, I would ljust like some opinions.

Thanks

I have been having this ’something stuck in it’ feeling in my throat for awhile now, approximately 4 or 5 yrs. I’ve been to a few doctors, who diagnosed acid reflux, heartburn, even viral infection. But now matter what they diagnose or prescribe, the feeling always comes back. Sometimes it hurts to the point that I feel like I can’t breathe or catch my breath. If anyone has had these symptoms and has any idea what this is, please tell me, I feel like the doctors are slowing letting me suffocate…

Its weird. I’m 25 weeks (26 weeks next Tues) and have had hardly any heartburn (just a little bit here and there when I ate something a bit too spicy). With my son (my first I was really struggling with it!!

Anyone else? I’m wondering why!!!

we are supposed to be drinking tons of water!! and every time I have a glass, I get heartburn or acid reflux (I don’t know which is which).. water brings it on more than ANYthing else.. it’s so frustrating!!
tums barely helps.. what else can I do?
what is it about the water that causes it? lol
