Re: Chest Tightness / Reflux
The fact the PPI took care of the issue shows its reflux. Coming off a PPI cold turkey can have a rebound effect and cause it return with a vengeance. It happened to my wife recently. Her doctor reduced her PPI by half and she was fine but when she stopped, it hit her hard. She phoned the doc and she put her back on it at a lower dose and she's fine now. Also, diet is vital. Look into the FODMAP diet and keep a journal of what foods aggravate you and avoid/eliminate them.
