For people with acid reflux, did you have a symptom like this?!


Question: For people with acid reflux, did you have a symptom like this!?
Okay I was diagnosed with acid relux about 4 years ago, so I was already aware that I had it, but the past few months it has been getting worse!. I constantly have acid in my throat and all of those other common symptoms but lately I have been having this absolutly horrible pain like below my chest, in the center of my rib cage, and i think thats about where the esphogus is!. The first time it started hurting I woke up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat, barely able to breath, and I actually thought I was having a heart attack because that was how unbearable the pain was, and the 5 minutes later it was gone!. I didn't get the pain again until about 3 months later and it was not even close to being so extreme but now I have a dull pain there everyday, and I get like 5 second bouts of really really bad pain there!. I got an ultrasound a few weeks ago and they didn't find anything in my gallbladder or esphogus, but it won't stop hurting!. Does anyone else with acid reflux feel this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You should tell your doctor about this- stomach acid that high up can cause serious problems, including cancer!. Get your Doctor to refer you to a gastrointerologist, who will probably want to do an EGD procedure where they scope you from the top!. Dietary changes will be in order as well as drinking alot more water!.

You dont mention is you are on any meds for this, but my gastro put me on Aciphex!. Life is good again!Www@Answer-Health@Com

They need to do more tests to find out what is wrong with you!. I suffer from mild acid reflux which is bad enough, I can't imagine feeling like that!. You'll probably need to change your diet a bit and possibly take medication to reduce the acid in your stomach!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
