Ok my blood work came back it was good and so was my ua besides a little weed lol....But my chest pain and back pain is caused by "GERD" (severe acid reflux) but with me having anxiety typically health anxiety i still feel some what uneasy....but i do have an appointment with my primary care doc friday

I'm so glad you are okay. People don't realize how painful GERDS can be. Put that

together with health anxiety and your thoughts go to the worse case scenario.

But I'm glad you got it checked out. You are okay, leave the uneasiness behind you.

All is well. xx

I have severe GERD started with meds then severe stress & meds again. I’ve had it before from meds but this time it’s in my throat nose ears choke all the time on strongest med for it. It’s hard to breathe do anything this time. Get a med fir it it totally causes anxiety. It’s nauseating. Distress walk away from stressful stuff let it go when you can the GERD causes it hard for you to cope hang in

Did you have back pain with yours

[Hidden in reply to HelpMePlz86]

Yes severe and headaches and neck pain now from it swelling & into my groin too. I’m on medication for other things and it really set it off. It’s so stressful so it gets worse trying to get through the day so acid gets worse. My other med really is killing me I’m on strongest dose of pantoprazole and I take Zantac & gaviscon. Mornings are worst I have chronic fatigue from it all. The ppi makes me bloated if I eat any oil anything I’m screwed or a cookie. Gone in so long won’t settle I had surgery for endoscopy & colonoscopy and it stirred it up worse the clean out with colonoscopy I had polyps.

If you can eat oatmeal for breakfast and soft foods veggies over cooked don’t eat dairy & oils & zero coffee. Drink lots of water. I eat plain veg plain chicken no skin and fish no other meat and plain rice no garlic and I find taking slippery elm herb helpful if you stay on it. I can’t cheat or stray from the above I pay for 3/4 days. It’s hard to eat like this & stressful but in long run the other is killer. I take Gaviscon before bed & also DGL Licorice root tablets 15 min before eating and at bed time they really help.

Yes my lower and upper back is killing me ...they put me on protinix

I’ve had constant stress and I mean severe & meds making it worse I just rolled over past 1.5 yrs from exhaustion from it all. I sleep on my couch to elevate my neck head shoulders to keep acid down. I also squirt distilled water with baking Soda up my nose since head meds making reflux even worse. But I’m so exhausted from the stress it started from meds I was on then on going stress & dealing with it all. I’ve lost half my hair or more & counting it’s so thin like old people I have t always been like this. Take your ppi & eat like a saint but the dgl because it costs your stomach helps heal & it’s cheap & maybe you’ll get better where you can get off of them in 4 months. Put yourself first and notice your diet. I know how awful it is it’s worse than what I initially was going through

[HelpMePlz86 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah the nurses told me gotta watch my caffine intake and watch out for spicey and fried foods..witch sucks i love mexican food my wife is spanish

[Hidden]

Yeah it takes a long while to heal and you’ll improve with ppi but it masks it too so even if you’re feeling better still eat like saint so you can heal get off the drug. It takes a long time. & going off the drug it rebounds so you’ll go through it again to degree but if you can get off it once healed you should I have arthritis and it’s made it much worse from going on that drug several times and I lose my hair in it too from the drug. I’ve been on it enough times to know because I wasn’t stressed each time I was in it you just don’t absorb your vitamins as well so buy the dgl Licorice root to help heal the stomach and eat like I said you’ll chest and it will haunt you it sucjs dude I know.

The hospital told me to take 4 tablespoons of Kefir a day and make sure it's the one with all 14 good gut bacterias. It helped me and I was only on pepcid a.c. twice a day for 4 months and haven't needed it since. It's natural so can't hurt to try. Good luck and gentle hugs!!

I also made 2 trips to the ER. Both to let me know I was having a panic attack. I was given a shot of ativan and sent home after all the tests were normal
