I have been having severe heartburn for the past 10 months. I have completely given up all pop, chocolate, tomato and everything else that would cause heartburn. I dont eat anytime near bed and I take 80mg of protonix a day (double dose) and sometimes have to take liquid Maalox before bed to prevent heart palpitations.

I have noticed that the underwire from my bra causes an indent right at the top of my stomach. Would this be a cause for severe heartburn? I obviously have no way around this unless I have reduction surgery.

By the way I’ve seen a gastro dr, had 2 barium swallow xray studies, ultrasound and several other diagnostic tests and they found absolutely nothing wrong. I have NOT had an upper endoscope yet because of my extreme fear for "surgical procedure" and anesthia (sp).
