hernia (I have the dubious distinction of having had the worste 24 hour pH my gastro had seen). l things were great for 10 years then 2 years ago I started to get a gnawing sensation around the base of my sternum
. An endoscopy showed the repair looked like new and tests for h pilori and cilliac were negative.. We tried protonix which had no effect. Then I was put on levbid which helped for almost a year. In the last year things have gotten worse. In addition to the gnawing sensation, I have periods of what seem to be spasms
