I'm also interested in natural cures. It seems I go a few days feeling good, then something I eat I guess makes the GERD flare up again. I know people say the acidophils in yogurt is good for you,...
Hi Joan, I have Gerd and have been trying to lose weight but it seems I only gain or stay the same. I was on Nexium before and now I'm on Aciphex. Since taking the aciphex I am very bloated. Some...
Yeah, I had the headache too. Nexium just didn't work well for me. I'm on aciphex now. It has helped. I just wish everything would go away. But who doesn't....
When I was taking Nexium, I took one a day. I was told to take it a night at first then I was switched to an hour before breakfast. I liked the night better. It was much easier and I felt it worked...
Hi Cathy, We do sound alot alike! My blood pressure goes up when I'm ovulating every month even on the meds. I'm always scared that every pain I have is something else. My periods are still at the...
Hi Cathy, I'm 41...soon to be 42 in July. I never really thought about it, but since I have been on the Topral I have made alot more mistakes at work. I also do really strange things...like drive 10...
I've only been on Topral for 6 months. My doctor prescribed it because of my very high blood pressure (sometimes 220/120) and rapid heart rate. It has brought my heart rate down very well and I do...
Thanks Rose, I have been taking Toprol since January 06. One doctor says it doesnt cause acid reflux the other says it does. Sound to me like you had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic and really...
Hi Rose, Hang in there. I had the exact same thing happen to me. Right down to the testing for heart disease. All the tests came back fine. The heart doc sent me to a GI doc who gave me Nexium that...
Yes, I know exactly how you feel. I take a beta blocker called Topral. Ever since I started taking it I have had GERD. I too have had to give up most foods that I like. My doctor won't let me stop...
Back in December, I went to the hospital because of my chest pain. I had and echo, stress test, ekg and blood test over the next few months. All came back fine. My doctor decided to send me to a...
Have fun on your holiday Nell. Try to relax. Let us know how your scope goes. Medicine seems to be a weird thing. You need it for some things and it disrupts other things. Laurie...
I was diagnosed with Gerd, but I only had mild redness where the stomach and esophagus meet. I'm guessing it was mild because I have been on meds since February. I have been walking, which does help....
Hamie, I used to take Pepcid and had the same symptoms that you are having. The elevated BP and racing heart. I was sleeping, if that is what you want to call it, on many pillows trying to sit up so...
Nell, I had/have chest pain, which I always panic and think it is my heart. I feel like something is in my throat. I have pain in my arms, alot in my left arm. Sometimes from my elbow down it feels...
