I'm getting worse and worse. At the moment, I'm taking Nexium 40mg once a day, Tazac 150mg twice a day. Mylanta at bed. I'm still having a lot of heart burn and acid in my mouth. Now my teeth are going to fall apart! Other than that I'm very nausea, headache and tired. My mouth always like a chilli sit on my tongue! My heart looks like many ants bite!

Could someone tell me, am I having too much acid or not enough acid? I asked this question million of time and non of the doctor answer me is too much or not enough! Where are all those acid come from? Why so much? My stomach mulfunction? I took the wrong food?

Help! Help! Help! Please!

What is your diet like? What kinds of tests have you had done and what have they shown?

DIET! Big mess, Diabetes Dr said no more McDonald! Gastro Dr said I need to eat red meat at least 2-3 times a week because I'm anemia. No sugary food because of diabetes. No red meat because I had high cholesterol! I can eat a lot of salty food only because my BP and kidneys are still in good condition! I feel very nausea and stomach pain so I can fast every day and night without a problem! The burns and stomach upset would kill me that's all.

Many many blood test. Showed anemia only. Gastroscopy x 2 (one normal, one minor reflux oesophagitis; Colonoscopy x 1 (very normal).

Thanks for answering my post!

With all your problems you need to find one doctor to take in account all your different problems. Maybe they can refer you to a special dietician. My guess it your reflux problems are mostly from your diet and you need to get that figured out. You need to cut out the fatty, spicy, tomato based foods, and caffeine. You need to get some exercise which may do wonders. I know a lot of this diet doesn't take in account your anemia but there must be something besides red meat that can help with that although not all red meat is that fatty.

I need many many of strong coffee to open up the chest tightness. Cardio said it could use strong coffee to do that. Also was given at the stress test with a strong cup of coffee and asked me go home drank a lot of that. Next day on the scan, they said my heart was much more better!

I didn't eat fatty, spicy, tomato based foods very often. May be once per 3 months. I need and I walk a lot if I can. I'm still walk and do a lot of shopping while I look like walking in the space ship. I attend TaiChi class too. So far I haven't hit by a car yet but I've knocked down a lot of things.

Would reflux or heart burn cause dizziness? I can't tolerate it anymore! Am I having too much acid or not enough acid?

Appreciate your reply.
