Re: Reflux makes me think I have a heart problem

aswander, I have been on every PPI out there, but now I have been on Protonix for the past 2 years. It does keep most of the acid down, but I still get some discomfort. I take 40 mg. each morning and 40 mg at night. Sometimes I will need an extra one during the day. I am also on Zelnorm for my IBS and it has been working great for me. Take care, Linda

Re: Reflux makes me think I have a heart problem

I'm so glad you posted this question? I've recently started wondering if I have heart problems because of this sharp pain I feel in my chest. It's mostly on the left side of my chest, but every once in awhile I'll feel it on the right side. I've been assuming it was from the acid reflux, but was starting to worry that it might be something else. Does everyone else feel a sharp, stabbing kind of pain?

Re: Reflux makes me think I have a heart problem

yes, I feel that pain exactly as you described it. mostly on the left, sometimes it moves to the right. it can either be under the breast or under the collarbone for me, and to the side usually..

Most of the time heart pains arent a sharp feeling. Read this article and see for yourself
