do i have acid reflux? all day heartburn!

[jackwalshies]

I got heartburn about a week ago and it hasnt gone away. I have consistant heartburn, hoarse throat about 20 hours a day. Could this be a ulcer? No matter what I eat or dont eat i have heartburn. Normally I have alot of gas, since the heartburn started I dont have any. Do you think It could be a stomach problem and because Im not getting the gas out its giving me heartburn? also I was looking at a pill called heartburn free. This is suppose to be a natural pill made fromd-lemonene/orange peels. Does this work? If acidic fooRAB trigger heartburn how can they make a pill to cure heartburn using it? Anone got any answers to this questions? Thanks

Sunday night I started getting heartburn and finally took a Protonix pill that night and last night and it's seemed to calm down. I was getting worried yesterday because even drinking water seemed to set it off like you mentioned and it wasn't going away on it's own. I don't eat spicy fooRAB or ones loaded with fat so I already eat a pretty bland diet.

Do you have any medication or are you going to see the doctor? I think continual heartburn can cause damage in the stomach so you might want to try medication to see if it works to stop the burning. I hate the side effects of this medication.

I had an ulcer about 2 1/2 years ago and also took Protonix. I didn't have this heartburn it was just mostly being nauseated and my stomach feeling sore especially when empty.

I supposed you could have an ulcer and heartburn but I didn't. This recent heartburn and the ulcer symptoms I had seem distinctly different.
