GERD & Heartburn Support Group

HEART BURN CAN BE VERY SCARY AND VERY PAINFUL. I HAD AN ATTACK THE OTHER NIGHT. IT WOKE ME UP AND SCARED ME TO DEATH. THE PAIN WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THE REASON I'M HAVING THOSE TYPE OF PAINS AGAIN IS THAT MY BED ISN'T SET UP RIGHT YET. IT SHOULD BE 6 INCHES OFF THE FLOOR BEHIND MY HEAD. I'M GETTING THAT TAKEN CARE OF TOMORROW. IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHAT IT IS, DON'T HESITATE TO CALL AN AMBULANCE OR SOMEONE TO GET YOU TO THE ER. A HEART ATTACK IS NOTHING TO FOOL AROUND WITH. I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, KEEP US UP TO DATE.

Hi, Thank you! It was really bad yesterday. I've been off the meds for it for several days. I tried the Mylanta but it just did'nt cut it.
So I took a Nexium (which was newly prescribed for me). When I took one the other day I had a massive headache, so had been afraid to take another one.
Hubby was going to take me to the ER but I got relief from the Nexium.
It was very scary though, so I hope the Nexium will keep things at bay.
We shall see what today brings.
Hugs to you

I've had palpitations and stabbing chest pains from heartburn and it can be pretty scary. Good luck
