Acid Reflux?

[Ruby94]

Does anyone who gets Acid Reflux (i think this means where the acid plays up high in your upper abdomen, like the middle of your chest) Yeah anyways.

If you get this weird heartburn/acid type of uncomfort, does it feel like its hard to breathe in?

[pd]

It can be, slightly. Have you taken anything for the heartburn?

Hi.... I have Gerd,and I take Nexium I also watch what i eat as spices,tomato's and citrus friuts make it worse.There is a tablet called Somac which is very good to.Try eating 6 little meals a day,that is what the dietian told me to do....Hope this helps a little.:D

Maybe get some renitadine instead of the rennies, failing that omnaprozole/lanzoprazole on prescription.

What I find helps is eating small meals, more often, so 6 small-ish meals instead of three large ones. Some people have specific triggers like milk, spicy food etc, or fatty food can set it off. My doctor told me to keep a record of what I was eating and when the acid pain was worst, that way you can work out if anything in the way of food might be causing the pain.

GERD is refulx. Stands for Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease.

Although its called GORD in the uk as we spell it OESOPHAGEAL.
