Question Posted Wednesday December 27 2006, 11:59 am
Hey. A couple of days before Christmas I was in the hospital with heart and back pain. I recieved many heart tests indicating that I was okay. I have heard that it may be heart burn but I wanted to know if anyone knew if these sypmtoms lead up to that. Heart and back pain and then whether it be from that or fear dizziness and short of breath. Everyone has convinced me I'm ok but I'm really nervous and would like to be sure. Answer quick please
also if it is heartburn, i was perscribed omiprizol and does that help?
thank you so so so much to anyone who takes the time to answer this
Additional info, added Wednesday December 27 2006, 6:35 pm: also it is persistant it may be weaker at times but it never really goes away.

gastroesophageal reflux disease
n. (Abbr. GERD)
A chronic condition in which the lower esophageal sphincter allows gastric acids to reflux into the esophagus, causing heartburn, acid indigestion, and possible injury to the esophageal lining.
So take the medication, it will help you. I haven't taken it but know those who have.
You were probably told...and if you weren't I will tell you, try not to eat close to bedtime. Lying down with a big meal on your stomach can cause symptoms. As you know they are awful! [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
