Veronica asked:


I haven’t had an endoscopy done in ten years and I haven’t taken any medicine for my acid reflux disease in ten years. Should I even bother going back to a doctor for it? And why?

My acid reflux has been kicking my butt lately and I am getting tired of taking the “purple crack”.
I have heard that their are home remedies that work and are very inexpensive compared to the over the counter and perscription drugs.
If you have had any success with anything please respond.

I’ve been taking it for a few weeks and it seems like I’ve been having heartburn/ chest pain more often. Also, I think I’m becoming more sensitive to the foods that cause it. (I’m usually able to eat a small amount of acidic food with no problems)
Is this possible given that it’s supposed to help stop acid reflux symptoms?

okay so for a while I’ve had this funky thing going on with my throat. It feels like there is a lump in there. but it also feels like the musckles at the sides of my neck are really tight. I get pains on the sides of neck and it hurts sometimes to swallow or take really deep breaths through my mouth. I also sometimes get pains just around the area near my adams apple would be if i had one. I do have phlegm coming up sometimes but its always clear.
My tonsils and glands are not swollen.
When I suck on mints it seems to go away for a little bit
its very irritating.
I’m 17 and dont have many GI problems, just ibs and sometimes i have symptoms of GERD.
could this be seasonal allergies or anxiety related?

When i feel nausea, altho doc says is reflux. But i doubt so? Strangely when i feel nausea lying down on a bed and applying some medicated oil, then burping does really makes me feel better. Anyone felt the same?

I started suffering from the symptoms of acid reflux the week after Thanksgiving. On December 21, I went to a doctor and he gave me Prevacid. I’ve been taking that since then. I started feeling much better about a week after I started taking the medication, but my symptoms are not all the way gone. Sometimes I still feel like I have a lump at the back of my throat and I have to burp a lot. Occasionally I’m slightly nauseous. How long does it typically take to recover from acid reflux, or do you recover at all? And when I run out of medication, should I be fine by then or will I need more? I have enough for about a month and a half. I do plan on going back for a check up at the end of this month as well, as my doctor asked me to.
