I have had horrible indigestion every time I eat the past two years on and off. I have lost 30 pounds. The pain goes across my chest into my breastbones. The doctors say I have reflux but I never feel the burning, only horrible chest pains after I eat and at night it is horrible. I have stabbing chest pains in my esophogus that lasts for hours. I also get this strange scrapy feeling down the back of my throat. I feel like this has to be more than reflux. I have had all the tests done and the docs say everything is fine.

Pains in the esophagus will be the acid creeping up especially at night where it can travel easily if you lie flat.
Use three pillows (laid overlapping, not directly stacked) to elevate your upper torso and head at night, this helps stop acid from travelling to your mouth region where it can cause upper reflux symptoms of sore throat etcetera called LPR (laryngo-pharyngeal reflux)
What dose of zantac are you on? (I take 150 mg four times a day).
The other PPI's (xxxprazole group give me bad skin itching redness and inflammation in genital regions.
