Does anyone get strange feelings in their head from acid? To me it feels like acid on the brain, but sure there is a different explanation. I also get pains in my arms nowadays and constant aches and pains all over! Not nice, but i guess we have to live with the symptons.

superchef you described how I am feeling exactly! It feels as though the acid is swarming up in my brain as well. although I know its far from it... my idea is its the brain stem (the throat, ear, nasal part) that is also irritated because of LPR.. doyou have pain in your ear and throat as well as the back of your nose? I do. And do you feel sleepy so sleepy like you cannot stop yourself from falling a sleep in the weird hours of the day? It feels scary.

My eyesight is also faulty and I am having trouble comprehending.. I feel so lethargic all the time1 specially last night my ear pain is so bad. I also having trouble sleeping... I keep on waking up palpitating and its like I stopped breating. I am on PPI 2 times a day. Hope our symtoms improved soon

chikkie - i would look into the side effects of the ppi - that could be causing the dizziness and fatigue. i had severe anxiety on nexium and prevacid. aciphex gave me migraines and extreme fatigue.
