Re: DIFFERENT PAIN...HELP!!!!!!!...JAY Again

[Guest guest]

---Ah ha......when I have reflux symptoms, the antacids do takr it

away....however, during these " attacks " , the antacids may as well be

a roast beef sandwich....no help at all.

See, that's what got me questioning this whole hiatal hernia thing

to begin with. And when my brother told me it sounded just like his

GB attacks, I started snooping around. Next attack landed me in the

hospital and the nurse practitioner told me it was " most likely "

galbladder disease. No further tests were done though since I'm

uninsured. (That's what I'm waiting on now...insurance!! :0)

Thanks again!

it was/is (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)or GERD. It oftentimes

acts just like a heart attack and can last for 5 or 6 hours. Mine

was diagnosed with an upper GI. One way to find out is - next time

it happens take some anti acid and see if it calms down. If it

does, your on track. If it doesn't, you need to get some

professional help to track it down.
