Symptoms of acid reflux

Q.I believe I may have acid reflux, but I don't know. The doctor was checking for heart problems, but did not find any there, and I don't think she's a good doctor so I'm trying to find a new one (but until then) I would like to know others who have experienced any forms of acid reflux. What did it feel like, symptons, what did you go through? Chest pains? Trouble breathing? Anything you can tell me that was in your diagnosis. Cutesy/smart alec remarks won't be read and probably just forwarded onto Yahoo so don't bother, I need assurances and suggestions to help the diet and see if I may have similar problems as you- and yes I will be seeing a doctor ASAP.

A.You have my same issue! u need to see a GI specialist and they will give you a colonoscopy and an endoscopy! Which is actaully a simple procedure I have had 3 endoscopies and a bravo surgery in my esophagus and Im only 23! Ive had acid refluxz amongst many other digestive issues for years now! Sometimes acid can get into your lungs and that can cause an issue with breathing... It also can cause chest pain and discomfort as well! They will probably put you on a proton pump inhibitor if you do have at such as aciphex, protonix, nexium, etc! I had issues with nexium but protonix is nice... I have acid reflux so bad that I have to take 2 a day! Avoid.... Caffine, Alcohol, Cigs, Weed, Spices, Chocolate, Fried Food, etc! I could give you the whole lowdown on what you need to do but Ill leave that for your doctor! Unfortunatley the only way to diagnose it is through an endoscopy... They wqill sedate you (which is quite nice) and stick a long camera tube down your throat... Into your esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestines too look for erosions, etc! Acid Reflux is very common! Ok as for my diagnosis I found out that I have acid reflux, I once was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, I was also diagnosed with Colonic Inertia, and Gastritis... I have been where you are you will get through this it is manageable... If you have any further questions feel free to ask! My symptoms include the typical burning sensation behind the breastbone, occasional trouble swallowing, and sometimes even severe chest pain. I've learned to avoid foods that aggrevate my heartburn - for me it's acidy foods like orange juice and tomato products. I also take Prilosec, which turns off the acid pumps in your stomach, allowing your esophagus to heal.
