Is it really Acid Reflux
by heart_burning, Jan 16, 2008 11:18AM
I have this pain that comes and goes at odd times. If I eat something and lay down I get these palpatations, and feel like something is caught in my throat and I need to burp but I can't. Yesterday got really scary because I actually had pain in my chest. Went to the ER they did EKG's and blood work. They said it was Acid refluux and gave me prilosec. I was told the a drug called Nexium was better. Is the acid reflux life threatening? I sure felt like I was having heart issues but they ruled that out. Is there a cure for acid reflux? Is it possible that it could be an ulcer. I was concerned because my WBC was 13.2 and my RBC was 4.55 doesn't that mean there is infection or inflammation? Please help. I won't be able to see my doctor for another 3 days

Each of the acid-reducing drugs is slightly different, so whether or not nexium is better depends on each person's body and how they respond.
In addition to taking the meds, talk to your doc about diet. You can find a representative GERD diet at www.gicare.com. Click the Diets button and then the Acid Reflux button.
