quoting · 08-30-2005, 05:35 PM

I have bad acid reflux. Most times my pain is on the left side of my chest near my heart. But sometimes I get these sharp shooting pains that feels like it goes right throught my heart. I am 21 and have had just about all the heart and anuerysum test you can have. But does anybody else get these shooting pains near or around their hear from GERD?

yep, I get them. I am 35 and I always think it's that, but then I pop some TUMS and it eventually goes away. but sometimes it takes awhile. a few hours or so. and when I bend over, the chest pain/heart pain gets WORST

next time you get that pain , try bending over, and then email me if it gets worst , I'm curiuos if Im the only one

Hi I also have these chest pains been to the ER countless times and also has stress tests done of my heart and nothing found, some days my chest feels so sore because of all the pain I had all night its horrible and scary for instance lats night I had a bad night with the chest pains and now i woke up all sore in my chest, its the gas that creeps up there and puts pressure on the chest area I guess, but man it could be scary especially for me since I am alone with my 2 small kids, never knwing whther its really my heart or its just gas, aghh, anyway I have tried many meds liek zantac,protonix,prilosec,zelnorm and nothing helps, only one pill I bought named oxy-powder it works magic on gas and belly pain, and its sold online only I have sever gastritis and gerd and it works on me only 2 pills a day but the thing is they are bigger pills and I have trouble swallowing them, its funny that thsi is the only thing that helps, 2 pills a day and i dont feel any kind of pain, I will try to maybe sprinkle teh meds in water but it tastes a bit nasty, anyway that is made of oxygen, you gusy shoudl try it its all natura and beats any of the meds i have tried, I just have to find a way to drink it daily, its used as a colon cleanser so you can take 10 pills and it cleanses your colon and stomach out, but only take 2 or 3 daily for the stomach issues and it helps a bunch

yep, have the same pain. have it in chest and right below rib cage and in back sometimes. Really getting old fast. I'm thinking about asking Dr. to do the nissan surgery because I have changed diet, how I eat, lost weight and take protonix 2x/day, pepcid complete 2x/day and still have the pain a lot. Would rather have the surgery now since I'm only 34 than get too much damage or too old to have it later. This makes life miserable sometimes. Just want my life back.

I am 30 and have had this mess for about 5 years now, everything i eat gives me a belly ache, and belching,gas,reflux, I had read that with soem surgeries it could come back again within a year, which surgery are you planning on getting
