Almost everyone experience heartburn or acid indigestion at times. But what is acid reflux and how could it cause more serious problems?...
Can you tell the difference between common heartburn symptoms and signs of more serious digestive problems? Learn when and how to take action for acid reflux....
Heartburn is common, but it is not trivial. It's important to diagnose and treat heartburn or acid reflux as early as possible. Review diagnostic procedure now...

Q: Esophageal Spasm

First I like to thank everyone for reading this, also for anyone that posts to this post.
I don’t know were to start this, so i’ll start on the first day that my health became worrisome. The two nights before new years day 2004 we brought a keg of bud light beer that 3 of us drank. We did not finish the keg because we thought that it was not as good tasting as a bottle of it, so after one day and a half we got the bottles. We drank till new years day nonstop. That night I cooked myself a large skillet of diced steak with peppers and onions and tomatoes and a lot of lemons I really mean a lot of lemons like 15 whole lemons. That night I eat the almost the whole skillet, that I thought was very good.
Any how I went to sleep on the couch, later that night I woke up with my head upside down. I had a very bad burning down the throat, so I drank a beer very fast. Needless to say that made my throat really burn, some how I still went to sleep. Later that day I had to go to the er because my esophagus was shaking badly. I thought that I was having a heart attack. Well thank god that I was not a heart attack, it was an esophageal spasm.
For about 4 months I had really bad heart burn with a lot of burping. It hurt to bend down
so about the middle of april I got better almost back to my old healthy self. But in november my heart burn came back with a vengeance, my stool was black or green, I couldn’t sleep, I have a numbing feeling in my upper left arm and chest, a sensation of
pooping and a pain in my heart, my upper left arm shakes after eating. A tightening of my lower ribs, I always feel full. I am getting over a 3 week head cold. Now I don’t know what to do. I don’t have money to pay for a doctor. I still owe my er visits a total of 4
the er doctors say that it is not my heart, but i’m afraid of the pain that comes from there after I eat. It is now months from last november i’m only 30 years old. I like to know if anyone has had or know about what is happening to me.
