First, sorry I posted on the wrong forum..... Thanks for the comments, you are right it probably is GERD. I took 2 prilosec this morning, and seems to be a little more under control, not so fiery, how long does this usually last? I have been having this for a month. Like I said, I have been under a great deal of stress and that to is getting more under control. So maybe it will stop soon I am going to give it a few more days and if it is not gone I will call the doctor. Thanks again.
Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Personally, I do not feel your problem is related to heart. Chances are that you have esophageal reflux (GERD), where the food in your stomach is thrown up into your food pipe or esophagus. This also causes burning sensation or discomfort in the chest area. Another possibility is hiatal hernia, where a portion of stomach herniates into the chest cavity through the diaphragm. This causes acidity like symptoms. Stress and anxiety leads to acidity.
Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bet at least 2 hours after food.
Try deep breathing exercises, yoga or meditation.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
