Gerd For 5 Months, Is It Normal? Posted: 10-23-04 22:59pm
I've had this chestpain for like
approximately 5 months n the first time I
discovered that I had chestpain I went to
see gp and he gave me some pain killers
which actually made the condition even
worse. Initially it's more to like sharp
pain. After it did not heal, I went to
see physician, bcos I actually had this
feeling bout food stuck in my throat
months before I had my chestpain but I
have no idea what was it, I just ignored
it. I told him bout the situation n was
diagnosed with gerd.The physician did ecg
on me and he said it was normal. He gave
me pariets 20 mg and ask me to take twice
a day and asked me to go back if I dont
get better. I went back to see him bcos
the pills don seem to work on me, then he
did endoscope(?) and he said my stomach
was too acidic. H.Plori was found to be
negative as well. He gave me pariets n
ask me to take for another one more week,
after that I asked him refer me to another
physician in another hospital and there,
the physician gave me prevacid
lansoprazole 30mg and asked me to take
twice again. I've been taking for like3
months now but my condition doesnt seem to
improve much. In between the period, I
actually went to consult another physician
and he did scope on me n he said it was
too acidic as well n asked me to continue
taking the lansoprazole. He did the
h.Pylori and was found negative as well.
Blood test was being done and everythings
normal.I've regular chestpain, it happens
in the morning most of the time and
sometimes after walking around for a while
I dont feel the pain anymore but nowadays
I do. I think its getting worse. The
pain is not like a sharp pain anymore its
more to like dull pain. I have strict
diet as well, only eat bread, biscuits,
vege and congee. Thats all. I slept with
my head around 8" high but still it doesnt
seem to work much. Theres one period when
I felt really depressed n it makes my
chestpain even worse. Once in a while I
will feel this mucus/phlegm stuck in my
throat, it's white. Sometimes when I was
rushing assignments, or rushing to go
somewhere i'll have gastric pain, hurts
till the back of my body. Issit normal to
have gerd this long even though im taking
pills every single day, even with my
strict diet?
