Hi,

I have similar problems to you and was told repeatedly that the breathing

problems are likely to be panic attacks and that it is probably nothing to

worry about. Still worried, I did a lot of research and found there is

something called larnygospasm or vocal cord dysfuntion that can cause

breathing problems for acid reflux. Basically, this closes the vocal cords

so you struggle for breath. There are breathing exercises you can do to

help this. The one I found that works is breathing in quickly through the

nose and then out slowly through the mouth, either through very pursed

lips or through a straw. Doing this several times opens the vocal cords

so that you can breathe. This should be practised when you are not

getting the problems, so it is easier to do when the problems occur.

Every symptom, plus double vision once, I go to doctor tomorrow! I have had acid reflux forever, I take meds for it, for years, so don't has anything to do with that! I quit smoking fives months ago, have very low oxygen, sleep apena, narcolepsy, have oxygen at night and just had the new inspire implant replaces the sleep apnea machine, was $118,000 its new two doc's from mayo invented it.

Hi..... I'm 50 years old lady. I had this heartburn problem for quite long time, I think is about 15 years but all the time is not as bad as now. Since last month I had a very bad heartburn till I admitted to the hospital twice within a week and 3 times of A&E. My Dr already gave Nexium 40mg twice a day and Gaviscon Advance and yet the heartburn till now non stop, not only that I feel giddy, whole body like very heavy to do anything, cannot drive, so down and scared. I really cannot take it anymore. It really sometimes confusing me is it heartburn or heart attack. And I'm going to die soon. Please help

Hi,  I must sumpathise with you all. Not feeling good is a terrible thing that causes anxiety and in turn causes  the symptoms to present themselves in earnest. I have been going through health issues over the last 18 months as i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and have been having operations  and going  through treatments.  However over the last few months I've been feeling that there is permanently a lump in my throat. I have been on anti Acid reflux meds for 4 months and it hasn't helped much. My ENT about 2 months ago put a camera through my nose and down my throat and said that my throat is swollen and prescribed Nexium for 60 days. It improved a little but after I stope taking Nexium the feeling of the lump increased. I went back to my ENT who once again put the camera down my throat and again my throat was swollen. She referred me for a barium swollow which indicated that " relative stenosis of the GE junction which delayed barium transit into the stomach" and " GOR present. I am still waiting for my ENT to phone and explain. I have not noticed a dull pain in my upper stomach before but since the barium I am noticing it as well as slight nausea "anxious much". Has anybody had anything like this or could anybody shed some light on it. Thank you in advance

I had an endo done on me and they found what is called a "schatzkis ring" aka "steakhouse syndrome" look it up could be the answer to some of yalls problems. Mine was fixed with a simple balloon dilation in my esophagus!!! 

Hi there! I have a similar story with all of this. My symptoms came out of nowhere one day with severe indigestion/heartburn to the point for almost 2 weeks I was eating tums and rolaids in place of food. I finally gave up when the dizziness and the chest pains started and went to the doctor. They did all kinds of test to make sure that the lining of my stomach wasn't infected and even did an EKG. They then felt the need to do an ultrasound on my heart. My regular physician couldn't diagnose what they found so I went to a cardiologist. He stated that I had GERD that was stress induced. I had all of the following symptoms: dizziness, extreme indigestion, sensitivity to smells, severe right rib cage pain, left chest pain (lower rib area), shivers, and extreme fatigue afterwards. He prescribed a medication to me to take every day for 2 months and then as needed. I found them to be extremely helpful. I have recently started experiencing the symptoms again but I have not had a chance to refill the medication. I will be making time for that ASAP though. 

?I hope that these responses are helpful.

P.S. what kind of dogs do you have?

I’m 39 years old and I just started experiencing these symptoms. I always have got heartburn, but I assumed it was from eating bread (I’m not even sure if that’s a thing).  I’m experiencing this right now as we speak. My stomach feels all gassy making noises, my chest hurts and I have heartburn and my chest has a dull burn. I have dizzy spells as well. My throat hurts feels as if it’s almost shut. I also am not sure if I need to throw up or poop. So I google my symptoms (like I did when I found this thread) I seen all kinds of heart attacks, strokes and stuff pop up so then I get to freaking out thinking I’m going to die. So I guess that’s where the anxiety takes place. I sit and wonder me being a single mom I can’t afford any unnecessary bills to the hospital. This is the 2nd time dealing with this and I was overjoyed to find this thread. I took a Zantac and I wonder how long does this last so I can give my self a time limit. Plus I’m tired and cants sleep. 

Thank you

I wrote a reply to everyone trying to find out the possible product that Carolyn used, but for some reason the moderator deleted my response.  Guess he/she thought that I was soliciting or something.
