?GERD

[linden512]

For the past month I have had increased heartburn especially at night when I lay on my right side. I am on victoza for diabetes and many other meds. I have stopped taking my meds at bedtime and take them 2 hours before, but the heartburn continues. Any ideas?

I just wanted to add that it is very unlikely you have what gonzal13 describes.

I have reflux disease. I use Nexium twice daily which is a proton inhibitor. I would suggest an endoscopy to see if you have any pre-cancerous cells growing. which thrive on the stomach lining growing in the throat.I have the procedure done for 15 years. If cought in time one can have a Halo procedure that scrapes the precancerous- lining in the throat. You need to catch it before stage 1, otherwise the cure is tenous at best. I had a friend that had stage 4 and spent 4 months in an induced coma.
The procedure is done twice if needed.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  It sounds like you have GERD.  I would recommend seeing a doctor and getting on some medicine for GERD.  Good luck.
