Acid reflux hell

11 Replies

Ok so I've been getting acid reflux for months now. Notmally I get the acids moving up and down and constraint daily burping/shorteness of breath. Docs put me on all kinds of tablets none worked. I've tried everything. Mor recebtly ive been beginning to heave/gag when I burp and over the last two days I've felt sick with it which I normally don't so that's concerning me. Anyone got any similar stories/tips? Mouth is watering and tastes horrid my stomach is burning and I feel like I need to vomit but never do. Getting tired of it now. It makes me anxious as hell feeling sick like something is going to happen :( been tested for h-pylori it's not that. Had a camera down they said it was clear. I'm at my wits end in tired of it, it's beginning to take over my life.

I have a similar issue at the moment. It comes on when I am stressed or anxious for any length of time and hangs around until the stressor has gone. The problem, of course, is that the reflux/nausea/burping, etc, MAINTAINS the anxiety and stess and becomes self-sustaining.

All I can suggest is that you speak to your doctor and get some acid-suppressing medication to limit the damage to your esophagus and then try to deal with the anxiety/stress that's brought it on.

I have the same symptoms at the moment. Tight and burning mouth and throat, bad breath, blocked ears, pain in the chest, back and stomach, slow digestion etc I suffered with acid reflux for many years now and tried many different medication, they help to a certain extent but never been able to get rid of it. It’s a horrible horrible thing to suffer from as it stops you from enjoying the basic need of life. I am on omeprazole but I think Sticking to a strict alkaline diet free from triggers also help. Hope you feel better soon.
