Q: How can you tell the difference between GERD/acid reflux symptoms and a problem with the aorta?
I’ve had sharp, stabbing pains in the upper stomach area (and a multitude of other symptoms) for a few months now and they seem to be getting worse. How can I differentiate between GERD or acid reflux type symptoms, and something like aortic stenosis or an aortic dissection.

A: I’m not sure but if you find out let me know :) I have had a constant full feeling in my upper stomach over the last few days and its doing my head in. I haven’t got much of an appetite but feel full, had a dodgy stomach a week ago. I went to my gp and he has given me some Merbentyl as he said it should settle things down and he thought it was just a bug that i have but i’m not convinced.

Q: Quick cure for acid reflux symptoms?
I have acid reflux but some times run out of priloce is there any at home quik remedies?

A: I have the same problem. Sorry man. Prilosec is the best thing I’ve found yet. If you have some Tums or Rolaids around they work for an hour or so at a time. A glass of milk helps for maybe an hour, but just a little.

Q: What are the symptoms of acid reflux and How can you tell if you have it?
Lately my throat has felt like its burning and acid-y. It also feels like I have to burp after I eat. Are these symptoms of acid reflux?

A: Patients with acid reflux often report suffering from nausea. In fact, nausea as a result of acid reflux is so common that when a patient experiences nausea with no apparent cause, a doctor usually suspects acid reflux as the culprit.

Equally as common as nausea occurring from acid reflux is regurgitation. Regurgitation occurs when refluxed liquid actually backs up into the mouth. Sometimes, this liquid can contain food. When a patient regurgitates, they often experience a burning sensation as refluxed liquid and food bypass the UES (upper esophageal sphincter) and make their way into the mouth. This burning is often accompanied by an awful, acidic taste. If a patient continues to experience regurgitation, it can actually cause damage to their teeth as the acidic substance erodes the enamel that encases each tooth.

Probably the most common reported complaint of acid reflux patients is the presence of heartburn. This is usually characterized as a searing pain in the chest. It can either begin in your upper abdomen or actually travel up to your neck. For some patients, this can be a cause for alarm. In fact, many people have mistaken painful acid reflux for a heart attack. Heartburn is especially prevalent after eating meals. Although heartburn usually goes away, the bad news is that it is usually a lifelong problem that will eventually return.

Q: What are acid reflux symptoms?
I have been experiencing chest pains on and off after drink or eating curtain foods and beverages I also get a burn sore throat filling in my throat. I feel boated and light head and sometimes dizzy. Could this be acid reflux?

A: Some of the symptoms of Acid Reflux are heartburn, chest pain, difficulty in swallowing and regurgitation (bringing food back up into the mouth).

It can last several months or longer if not treated. Drug treatment is often only needed for a short time although it may have to be repeated since some symptoms may re-occur.

I would say make a doctor appointment just to be safe.

Q: What are the symptoms of Acid Reflux?
What are the symptoms of Acid Reflux?

A: Basically, painful heartburn, which can occur at any time, but many people suffer it when lying down at night.

Symptoms can differ; but mainly consist of nausea/sickness, burning pain (heartburn), especially after meals or on lying down. Sometimes relief from the pain is only obtained by making oneself sick.

If you suspect you have this, then visit your doctor as soon as you can. It is easily cured, unless you are taking tablets which may cause this as a side-effect.

Q: Does anyone know the symptoms of acid reflux?
i have been to the docter and he didnt know what it was? But i think its acid reflux. what are the symptoms of acid reflux?

A: sure i had it, The first and more noticeable symptom is the heartburn. You wake up in the middle of the night with a terrible burning sensation that starts by your upper stomach and can even reach your throrat. You can also develop a hiatal hernia, which means that the valve that keep the hydrochloric acid into the stomach is defective due to the same action of the acid and then there is a discomfort right where the ribs cage opens to the stomach. If you suspect that you suffer acid reflux there is something you can do to test (out of the gastroscopy test), put 1 or 2 inches high bricks underneath the upper side of your bed, in order for your body to sleep in an angle. The gravity will keep the acid in your stomach and you will feel immediate relief. You will wake up fresh and happy, then you know what you were missing. I was treated of hiatal hernia and reflux, got over it tks to this little advice my doc gave me.. opps i forgot something , antiacids are to be used only under pain to avoid extra burning of tissue during a crisis but not as treatment!!!! inhibitors of the proton pump are the right choice, but the bricks are the best! good luck

Q: Is it okay to drink apple and/or cranberry juice with acid reflux symptoms?

A: Once you’re symptoms are resolved it’s okay to eat or drink anything in moderation. You should avoid too much of certain foods and drinks and never eat within 2 hours of bedtime if you have problems with acid reflux. If you are getting acid reflux frequently you could look at starting a proton pump inhibitor like prilisec or omeprazole and see a doctor.

Q: What are all of the symptoms of acid reflux disease?
Preferrably people who have acid reflux only please.

A: Heartburn more than 2 times per week and very severe, worse at nighttime, isn’t helped much by OTC heartburn meds, and often accompanied by bad tastes in your mouth and sometimes even burping.

Once in a while you might have an “episode” I don’t know how else to name it. Your heart beats faster, your chest hurts, your palms get sweaty, and you feel like you’re gonna have a heart attack, but it’s actually acid reflux.

The main symptoms are persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest, hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. You may feel like you have food stuck in your throat or like you are choking or your throat is tight. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath.

Q: How can I have acid reflux and have no symptoms?
I recently had an Upper GI and was told I have acid reflux but I don’t have any symptoms. I’ve had heartburn occasionally…once in a blue moon kinda thing. Should I start taking something for it?

A: I’m going through the exact same thing right now actually. I’ve been having acid reflux and not knowing it. I went to the doctors and my doctor told me that the acid from my stomach was actually making the back of my throat peel. Gaviscon works really well with heartburn.

Q: Can you tell me your gerd or acid reflux symptoms?
im having pain etc in different places my drs says its reflux but im not sure…

A: I would experience a burning pain in my stomach (quite high-up) and I would often have reflux after eating (i.e. tasting food after & burning throat) and when I went to bed (I slept with my bed on a slant slant to stop it).

I started taking Zantac, prescription, it helped a lot. I also use Gaviscon (over the counter) when i go to bed to keep my acid levels down.

Q: How long do acid reflux symptoms last?
Lately I had a mild case of acid reflux. After a few days I was put on some medicine (Rezhest and aciphex, apologies if I spelled one of the names wrong) and I am feeling better. My symptoms *were* chest pain, feeling like I need to vomit, and some other symptoms. Most of these symptoms went away except the very very mild chest pain which seems to come and go every now and then, and a very mild soar throat. How long will the soar throat and chest pain last? My doctor says about a few weeks for the throat, but I forgot to ask them about the chest pain.
Sorry forgot to add some stuff.
I am 16, and I only started having this chest pain when I got acid reflux, it’s only been about 3-4 days now with the mild chest pain.

A: Ryan – Acid reflux results when some of the very acidic stomach digestive juices move back up into the lower end of the esophagus and damage the surface of the esophagus. Some medicines can reduce the amount of acid the stomach secretes. At your age of 16, try taking smaller volumes of food at one time to reduce chances of back up of stomach contents. Avoid lying down after a meal to reduce back-up of stomach contents. In some people, the normal diaphragm muscle, which normally squeezes shut the top of the stomach, fails to contract, thus allowing backflow of acid juices. This is known as a hiatus hernia and may involve or require minor surgery with a couple of stitches to correct the hiatus hernia. This is uncommon at your young age but common in many older adults. Healing may take a couple of weeks after the reflux stops.
