I used to think I had my acid reflux under control for a period of time only to have a relapse, just like you. I struggled with it for years. It took some permanent lifestyle changes for me to finally overcome it for good. I now only get it on the occasions I stray too far from those lifestyle changes or eat too much of a trigger food. There is a lot of information out there for the condition. I would recommend http://refluxdisease.org because I write for the site and can tell you that the advice and products promoted there really work. Good luck with finding a way to give you some relief as I know how miserable it can make you feel.
thx, i wil try after a trip to madhouse. i already did gastroscopy, is there a different type with endoscopy? yeah maybe pH level and induce a reflux or something. at the same time very unsure what different they will do even after they diagnose has been set :S I already got it before though, in a different country..
I am not sure what testing u should ask for other then mayb a PH level and an endoscopy.....??
They did one survey før peristalsis it was fine now going to mental hospital after 4 days on peg.. **** it what test should I ask for? Only dis gastroscopy b4
Good luck to u and I pray u get better soon <3
Thanks man, I actually went into the hospital, after very high tachycardia and chest pain, didnt eat for 7 days as yes water set me off. 2 drs thought i was faking and wanted to send me to a mental hospital.. now finally found one type of rice i can eat WO ******* HOO! but yeah thanks man I will check that out. My thyroid was ****** b4 but i took all the blood work possible and i am low on all obviously as im under fed or wth its called. im going up again now though I think! :) im going into an institution though(for eating, not crazyness:P), thanks!:)
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum'
It could be that either ur med is no longer working for u, or u have an underlying issue like allergies or PND....
Ask ur dr about what the possibilities may be..stick to the changes u made to ur diet and lifestyle as they aid the meds. It is possible for the meds to stop working....I had this issue with PPI's they worked great on and off as needed for yrs then the next time I needed them nothing ...and water would set off my issues, so it was bad....so I changed to the H2blockers...
Another possibility is ask to have ur thyroid checked too....
The vagus nerve is also something that can be affected when we have GERD...so this can cause anxiety and heart palps...so tell ur Dr all the symptoms u r having to help him/her figure out the best course of action for u.
Do post updates on ur progress : )
Have changed lifestyle & elevated my bed and all that. And I got alot better last time(some months ago)and now nothing just seems to work. Throat tight as dam after swallowing anything else than water!
