Okay so for about 4 weeks now i have all the symptoms of Acid Reflux and an Ulcer. I'm on Prilosec 20mg for about 4 weeks. Not sure if its having any effect or actually making me feel worse?! Chest pains, shooting around the ribs, sometimes burning sensation when breathing in, burning in upper stomach comes and goes, tongue feels weird and sometimes ear pain. My GP checked me out, EKG good, 2 blood tests good. Going in for Endo (EGD) next week, I hope they can find out whats up, and of course like most other posts I read, my anxiety levels are crazy hight and hope they dont find anything really bad. :confused:

Taking some Mylanta last 2 days, seems to eleviate the stomach burning.
Also, its worse when sitting at my computer. If I am up and about, its kinda still there, some chest pains, but much better. Sleep elevated and all seems fine. Worst when sitting. Hope we all get better soon!
 
Updated - I tried Pepcid Complete (H2 blocker) and wow made me feel a lot better. Still feeling some pains but much less and as far as pain levels go. Slept good and more importantly did'nt get woken by sternum pain. Just feel happier all around. That's good news. I'm happy that an over the count drug could do so well for me. Still have EGD scheduled, see whats what.
 
Had EGD, no ulcers, no hernias. He said just some irritation but nothing major. Have the colonosc. next week. He gave me prescript for Famotidine because I told him about the Pepcid. only on it 2 days, seems to be helping. But still have constant discomfort/pain. seems less in the morning but then i get hungry and after i eat something seems to increase, feels like stomach bloating too. I am wondering if i have something like IBS that could be causing the pressures that maybe go thru my chest? I just hate it all. I want to feel better!!
