Question regarding Acid Reflux/Stress

[Gar2007]

Well just to let you all know, I went to the ER this morning, I just couldnt take it anymore. I was feeling horrible all week with nausea, extreme anxiety, loss of appetite and GERD symptoms. Again, the doctor didnt seem very concerned and ordered some chest and stomach X-rays to check for hernias etc etc and also to assure me nothing serious is wrong. Everything came out negative, and he gave me some anti-nausea medicine. Boy, this medicine put me to sleep and I am still groggy!!! However, the nausea has in the mean time subsided for now and I hope it stays that way. I will have to follow up with GI soon.

I'm sorry to hear that Gar!!! I understand though as I have been to the ER many times and felt like going earlier today for chest tightness. This does suck and it's hard to tell yourself that it's only acid.

Keep me updated on how you feel and just focus on getting better. Do not stress about work or anything else. If you do that it only makes it worse and I know this for a fact since I learned it the hard way. Just get better!

Im sorry everyone is feeling so bad. Im not feeling too good myself. I feel the same way you do Gar, Ive felt this way for almost a year but it has gotten a little better slowly.
I feel for you Chalupa, I really do. I wish I had the magic cure for everyone but I dont. I dont know anymore than most people on the board. Chalupa, Im going to be trying the pepcid probably on Monday. Ill let everyone know how it goes and if it doesnt work then Ill try something else.

I am like you have IBS, worry about everything & was just told I have reflux caused by nerves. I have a very stressful life I guess that's what caused it. Don't want to take the script Dr gave me heard it was bad for you causes problems. One of my big problems is coughing w/it. Good luck
