Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
the worst part of my perimenopause is that I have relentless heartburn/acid reflux. Just in my throat part and it is driving me insane!
I've tried everything from tums to pepcid AC to prescription stuff to baking soda, nothing works.
I found when taking the prescription stuff it was bliss for two weeks and then I started getting bile problems in the middle of the night which I find far worse than acid reflux.
then yesterday a friend told me about apple cider vinegar so I started taking that last night. My stomach felt like someone punched me and I still had the horrible acid reflux after about an hour.
I give up, what else can I try or do? Even water gives me acid reflux! Doesn't matter what I eat or drink or don't eat or drink!
Btw, I had this same problem the first few months of pregnancy, that was my only symptom. no morning sickness, no strange cravings, just acid reflux
Help!

I very rarely got relief from anything over the counter. I now take nexium daily and it does help. I would check with my dr. first to rule out anything else. I hope you feel better keep me posted Karen
