Thanks for the reply estherdani. Sounds pretty much like what I'm going through. I had GERD before, was on Aciphex once a day for about 3 months and then finally stopped it. Never had any other symptoms other than a gnawing stomach pain on occasion. That went away finally and I was fine for about 2 years up until a month ago again. I'm sure the asthma that I have slightly isn't helping things either. Did you ever have any kind of feeling in your throat, or was it all in your chest?
