I am now officially terrified that I have tumor. I am 39, a long time HA'er and I have GERD. For the r days I have had terrible pain when I swallow anything. The pain is right above my stomach. I am a tobacco user and I take nexium for the GERD. Please will someone talk me down? I have been googling all day and I am so scared. I can't afford a trip to the doctor so I need your help.
