I used to have an acidic taste in my mouth all the time, a lump sensation on my thoat, a very sore throat chest pain and frequent heartburn.
A few months later my sore throat stopped and the chest pain which doctor said is esophageal spasm and heartburn seemed to almost gone But then 6 months after surgery I started having terrific nausea and chest pain and heartburn return even worse. Now my chest /back pain are really hard to cope with and I think I have an inflammation in my esophagus.. I tried many different things like magnesium cream For my back and chest to help me with pain.it seems to help a bit. Rhodiola didn't had an effect on me, I just felt calmer. I take sucralfate sometimes to coat the stomach. I have burning on and off in the stomach too. I know some teas might help too. I take hypericum and lemon balm tea. If you find out something from your doctor that might help please post it. I need any advice I can get. Thank you.

hypericum is an herb also known as St Johns wort. It can be used for nerve pain among other things. I'm trying this because I'm in so much discomfort and pain in my chest.
I only started using rhodiola last week so not that long. I get pain on my upper right back. I really hope we can feel better x

Have you seen any specialist yet ? I understand you it's really hard to deal with this no meds are helping. Do you think you have gastritis or esophagitis that can cause a lot of pain like ours. I would suggest for you to see a specialist if u can . Im still waiting to see someone. We need tests to see what's going on. Meantime try natural things like teas and massage. Keep in touch x

Thats good you did the 24 h impedance test to rule out any other underlying problem that could be causing your reflux or making it worse. Bile and acid get mixed in the stomach and acid helps neutralise bile so PPIs will only make symptoms worse. That happenned to me. I always knew it wasn't just acid reflux but doctors always treat it as if it was and also send me to do a 24 h impedance test in January. It was normal, no acid reflux and LES valve working fine. It's much more common this type of reflux.
One question did they saw bile in your stomach when did the Ercd?
they said I had bile but normal. Since then pain is worse in my gullet. Maybe it's time for another check.
All of this is having a serious impact in our lifes, we need all the support we can get. I've lost so much weight too but before pregnancy I was a bit overweight anyway. I just want to feel healthy again. Thank you so much for your lovely words and if I found out anything too that might help I'll post it.

Please let me know about your latest test results when you find out.
Are you taking something natural for your pain yet? I still drink some teas that help me to go though the pain, calm my head and nerves. You should try.
I really hope it can ease your pain. I'll be in touch.x
