Need some advice/reassurance

Hello everyone!

I found this board searching for suggestions on my AR/Gerd issues. I am a 29 year old male. My background is that i was going to the gym every other day for the past 1 year. My diet was pretty clean

My symptoms are kind of weird and i was wondering if there are others who might have experienced similiar symptoms and hopefully have a mean to help me get rid of them

I started to have Nasuea with regurgitation back in Jan, At first i had no idea what it was until i started researching, Made an appt with a dr in last week of Jan who prescribed Protonix for me, Took it for a month and then went and saw him again. Everything was fine, minor regurgitation but my Nausea just wont subside at all, So he referred me to a GI specialist, booked an appt with him for 2 weeks later while i stayed on Zantac.

I was feeling pretty decent before i got the endoscopy done last wednesday (found a hiatus hernia and inflammation) he also did a biopsy but has not called back with the results yet. I am currently on prilosec OTC one a day.

I had my blood test done too and everything is normal including thyroid levels

My biggest concern is this Nausea, How can i make it go away. I am considering surgery cause i dont see me leading my life in this horrible way at all. The weird part is it occurs when i am driving usually, If all this wasnt bad enough i am starting to get panic attacks too once in a while.

Sorry for the haphazard post but my mind is a turmoil! If someone has a suggestion then please pass it on. Is this something i am going to be living with for the rest of my life?

Re: Need some advice/reassurance

Ok my doc just called finally and said i have chronic inflammation from too much acid, With proper diet and medication is should get under control.

As for the hernia its not an issue.

Does this make sense??

Re: Need some advice/reassurance

I work out all the time too, and lift weights for the last ten years; have lpr since last may, then had endoscopy in jan after terrible bout of heartburn; found small hiatal hernia but no irritations, or signs of reflux after manometry and ph test; go figure...the recomend3d treatment for hiatus hernia is two ppi's a day for two months followed by one...i've been off nexium for five weeks, and doing okay. i'm thinkng aobut having the hernia surgically repaired...but worry about my trainin future...

Re: Need some advice/reassurance

My nausea together with a pressure in my head, ear pain and throat lumps are just few of my concerns but thehighlights of it by now... my nausea is bad i feel like I am spinning so fast I thought I am about to fall down. I am currently on PPI, 2 caps a day but still feel the same.. mines hiatal hernia too with irritations... I real feel weird like my symptoms are worse than the others but my GI doesnt seem to be bothered by it ... Im currently at lost what to do...
