Hi

I have been having burning in the throat, stomach and feel nasus everyday and it is getting worse. Everything I eat makes it worse. I am taking protonix ans 300 MG of zantac. I will be having a scope on Friday. I am afraid of the scope afraid of the results. I am just tierd of feeling like this for 3 months now and no relief.

Is this normal for acid reflex?

I am sorry, I do have symptoms everyday for almost 2 yrs now. I no longer take meds due to side effects and they didn't work for me. You might look into another med. When I was on Nexium my reflux symptoms were worse, I thought the med was not working but it was side effects from the nexium. I feel better without meds and a very bland diet. I only have 3 meds left to try, Protonix, Prevacid and Acidex (not sure on that one).

Good Luck to you,
Katt

I feel the same way. For 4 mos I've had this problem.

I can also say I've run through a gamut of symptoms, some of which have come and gone. The few constants for me since day 1, so far, are virtually incessant burping/hiccuping and at least warm throat (+burning, scratchy, sore). Another constant for me since my endoscopy - i.e., for 2 mos - is gastritis, a burning sometimes nauseous stomach (NOT the esophagus). Of course, I was told I have bile there (I'm special; I'm a rare breed), so that may be why I still have burning gastritis daily 4 mos after stopping Ibuprofen.

I am sorry about complaining but tonight my throat is getting worse. It is burning so much and again feels like a big lump. My stomach is burning to. I can not stand this. I don't know what to eat anymore. I can not drink anything but water.
Doc will not change meds until after the scope. I just do not know what to do.

It's all frustrating. I've had my symptoms for about 3 months now. At first they thought it was my gallbladder. My symptoms seem to change alot. The constant for me is the lump in the throat feeling (which isn't quite as bad since taking the Prilosec) and the awful taste that comes and goes. I get the burning in my throat (not my stomach, just my throat) and sore throat. I also get this feeling of air, almost feels like I have a balloon in my stomach and throat. The doc said that's a symptom of a hiatal hernia. I'm tired of drinking water, too. I'm constantly hungry because I can't eat the normal foods or alot at one time. It's all aggravating.
