      last night I was exhausted, came home got into bed and layed on my right side! All of a sudden, I felt pressure in my head, felt dizzy, and like I was gonna throw up! Then I got this awful burning from my stomach into my throat...I went off the diet and had a margarita and Mexican food, not spicey...It was 3am when I last looked at the clock.. was an awful nights sleep...last week I had a pinching pain in my chest left side and it wouldnt go away so I drove myself to the hospital thinking it was my heart.. several test and the doctor said everything was fine. He said reflux has the same symptoms.. Today back on my strict diet..as far as short of breath I always have that.. When I do everything for the diet I am perfectly fine. It amazes me what symptoms you get from gerd..I was always clearing my throat, Earache, but never felt like I had reflux... burning rarely but the doctor said Its all symptoms of then reflux.. I had no symptoms for the last few years so I. thought I could eat normally. Apparently Not

      hi I think your right you will have to watch your diet for ever I get burning and stinging that travels up to my throat . always try and lie on your left side apparently lying on right side makes the acid come up

      Oh my goodness, yes! I feel for you, its awful. I also have pinching in chest , i can only describe it like electric shock. I've also been having widespread nerve time pain, pinching and pins and needles. Pressure in head and ears ringing too. This is all doing my head in. I'm currently going through the menopause at the moment which i am sure does not help. Doctor put me on Lansoprazole the other day so really hoping and praying it kicks in soon. I hope you get sorted, get answers and treatment you need.

      no chocolate, potato chips, wine, beer, no spicy food, no carbonated beverages, no coffee, small meals 5x a day, chew slowly, never let yourself get hungry I carry crackers if I won't eat on time, stay away from anxiety, try walking when I can. get sleep and elevate upper body to sleep, get a massage 2x a month. so for breakfast I may have cereal, then mid morning a banana, lunch bland meal, snack then dinner, bland ex. chicken with no spices, about 8pm I have 1/2 a sandwich. it gets easier with time...
