heartburn vs acid reflux disease

@nannewmom actually for me the Oj calms the acid down, (of all people, my grandfather suggested it) and I was just thinking the other day how the best stock to buy into is Tums. Some days it's like popping them like candy. I'll absolutely try ice water instead of always room temp. That maybe the fix! @2ndtimemoma927 I will have to check into the coconut water. I've tried it in the past, and it's just to sweet for me. Maybe I'll get a different brand or something.

I've seen comments with all kinds of opinions comparing the effectiveness of different forms of Prilosec (generic name omeprazole). But that are usually prescription brand-vs-generic, or OTC (non-prescription) brand-vs-generic. What I am looking for is real-life experiences from people who have moved from PRILOSEC OTC to GENERIC RX OMEPRAZOLE, or vice versa. I've been taking PRILOSEC OTC (non-prescription) for quite awhile, after years on the original prescription brand Prilosec.

since yesterday ive been burping acid having chest discomfort and my stomach feels warm could this be my heart it does not get worse with exercise or is it just acid reflux any help would be good thanks in advance

The doctor told me it was acid reflux disease, I had a GI cocktail and I felt better. I had also mentioned to them that I had what felt like spasms in the middle of my chest, I had told him it was a really strange feeling when it happens. He told me that it sounded like nutcracker esophagus. They never ran any tests at all, they just gave me a prescription for Pepcid 20mg.

The look what is GERD- (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is severe or chronic acid reflux that can lead to complications, such as cancer. Then ask questions like- Have I..... .... treating with over-the-counter medicines for more than 2 weeks?Have I increased the dosage to help symptoms? .....have the patterns or symptoms changed? .....do I have it when I wake up ? ....is this affecting my ability to swallow? ....do my symptoms continue even taking meds? ....

I get acid reflux sometimes but I never had heartburn. Can anyone tell me the reason why? Hopefully I'm not alone. I'm at the end of my second trimester so I will be beginning my third trimester this Saturday.

Picco, M.D., MayoClinic Acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are closely related, but the terms aren't necessarily interchangeable.

This is tmi but I've been having bad acid reflux for the past two days...it starts off as terrible heartburn then I throw up a little in my mouth...the burning sensation is horrible :/.....I have pills for heartburn but right now they aren't helping....any advice? Remedies?

I also had it extremely bad and I thought dairy was supposed to help and as I see it did for some woman but heartburn and acid reflux go hand in hand. Dairy will help with heartburn but make acid reflux worse. I learned after a month or so lol I cut out a good portion of it especially near bedtime. My advise is to look up acid foods and stay clear of them as much as possible. Good luck!!!!

I would like to add that heartburn could be due to other causes as well like a bile reflux or an eosinophilic esophagitis. The treatment for bile reflux is slightly different from acid reflux. Eosinophilic esophagitis though common in children is reported in adults also. You have mentioned about a tight valve. Did you try to mean a normal valve?

I have never had acid reflux, prior to my other issues but now have acid reflux, esophageal spasms and hypersensitive esophagus. I am also scheduled to have my gallbladder removed because of cholecystitis. all of the reflux/esophagus issues began with the burning in my left arm & dizziness almost 3 years ago. I am possible MS too.

Is acid reflux the same as heartburn ? I don't get heartburn. Believe I only had it once through this pregnancy but I've had acid reflux a lot through out my entire pregnancy.

Never had heartburn atall or acid reflux in my life before this week (33 weeks.) It is excruciating! Does anyone have any tips on this? Dying slowly from the inside.

Can Acid Reflux be a direct or indirect cause of Hypersalivation? I stopped taking Acihpex about a month ago because I concluded the two week Triple Therapy for H. Pylori(I am now negative for H. Pylori). Also, I have not had heartburn for over two months. I have suffered from Hypersalivation for about three months. I went to a ENT today and he did a VideoStroboscope on my throat. He feels my saliva is rather bubbly and the cause is possibly related to acid reflux.

I prefer Mylanta liquid over Tums for heartburn, etc. If it's true acid reflux your doctor or pharmacist will have a list of safe meds that they recommend based on your symptoms and frequency.

Heartburn: a burning pain or discomfort that may move from your stomach to your abdomen or chest, or even up into your throat Regurgitation: a sour or bitter-tasting acid backing up into your throat or mouth Other symptoms of acid reflux disease include: Bloating Bloody or black stools or bloody vomiting Burping Dysphagia -- a narrowing of your esophagus, which creates the sensation of food being stuck in your throat Hiccups that don't let up Nausea Weight loss for no known reason

i recently read that acid reflux or GERDs is a common symptom of parathyroid disease...might be worth a look at.

For about the last four weeks, I've had heartburn/reflux (real reflux, too) pretty much every single night. I almost never have had heartburn (unless in late pregnancy), and now, I'm waking up every night, reaching for the Zantac. I can't really take it pre-emptively right before bed because it might interfere with my BCP. Anyone had a problem like this? I don't take in much caffeine, this doesn't appear to be food related in any way.
