Pretty much everything Karokol's post says. Do NOT fuck around & just keep treating the symptoms though if you have heart burn/acid reflux often. You'll burn holes & sores into your throat/esophagus, possibly damage your vocal chords (which can encourage cancer ~ many inflammations/damage can do that btw) & even lead to dangerous bleeding & even life-threatening ulcers in your stomach & duodenum.
Just buckle down & go see a dr., preferably a gastroenterologist that specializes in this. If you have these symptoms of heart burn & acid reflux often ( more than once/week) you may NEED a
PPI that helps you stop making so much digestive acid...the acid is literally burning up your soft tissue linings of your throat & stomach.
I waited & fucked around & ended up almost bled out. Had to have 2 whole blood transfusions & spent Christmas week in ICU & then CCU. Not fucking fun & quite scary for myself & my Family too
:*(
Just go get a few opinions from actual doctors that are trained specifically for this,
it's worth it to find out what the cause is,
NOT JUST TREAT THE SYMPTOM(S)
I wish you the best~ I had had heart burn/reflux all my life & didn't know the difference until after the emergency & the following treatment (I tested negative for
H-pylori but you may have it!) of PPIs/
Zantac-rantitidine/
Protonix-Pantoprazole &
omeprazole-Prilosec. Most ppl won't get as many rxs- my body is just retarded, but I haven't had that too full/heart burn/acid reflux since! Thank God & what a difference..wish I had known what I was missing
