i have been feeling pressure in the top of my stomach, i have been diagnosed with acid reflux in the past but its isnt severe. i was put on protonix but don't take it regularly bc i don't think i need it. everytime i breath in and out deeply, i feel pressure in the top of my tummy. could this be a result of stress?

The presure could that type of pain and it could be stress -- Stress causes so many problems??

I think you should take the Protonix -- It may very well help your problem but not the stress.
