Hi everyone. i am back again with more problems post ablation. It is about 6 weeks now since my ablation and i am suffering the most severe reflux pain. I had been on nexium for a month but now going solo and pain comes on at any time even just after swallowing. Has anyone else had this problem and how long does it last. On a scale of 10 this is up there.

Common problem as we say in our fact sheet but it should be reducing by now I would have thought. What does you doctor say about treament. Normally a PPI short term may help.

I was hoping for a reprieve also Bob. My Ep put me on nexium for an extra week which helped for the time but its back with a vengeance.

I think I would report that, asap if you develop any fever.

I'd get checked out, just in case you have an infection.

As someone who has suffered from extremely bad acid reflux from a gastritis diagnosis, I have a few suggestions for you until you can see your doctor. Eat bananas, drink high pH water and consider a liquid antacid that contains aluminum and/or magnesium hydroxide. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, acid foods, raw vegetables and grains. Sleep on you left side. Try to elevate the head of your bed. Hope you feel better soon. I had an ablation on November 5, but was fortunate to not have any reflux issues.
