Starting to get...concerned.
I was diagnosed with GERD about 10 years ago and have been taking prilosec since, but lately I've been having really bad bouts of acid reflux. I mean so bad I'll wake up in the middle of the night with my stomach all the way to my throat just on fire. Literally, it feels like it is on fire. I also have a really strong pain in the center of my chest/stomach right where my sternum bone ends. Wow...it takes a lot for me to go to the doctor, but I almost had to go to the emergency room the other night.
I've tried to cut down on spicy foods--but it seems that BEER really agitates it lately. I go nights where I can't even think of drinking a beer because it is so bad.
I'm just wondering if anyone else suffers from symptoms similar to this and what they are prolly gonna do to me at the doctor. I'm thinking I need to make an appointment for this pretty soon.
