I have been experiencing tight chest pains at the top of my chest accompanied by a burning sensation in my throat also I get short of breath an find it hard to breath properly I've had tests for heart attack and such but all fine ..I sometimes feel like just under my ribs are extremely tender too but the worse pain is in the top of my left arm this sometimes worries me and I end up having a panic attack ! Am I going mad? What's happening?

      Hi.

      Hi, Have you tried ranitidine, which are an ACE inhibitor rather than a PPI and works in a different way but are less addictive, my GP said you can take 300mg per day without any problems.  If you are UK all supermarkets make their own basic ones at £1 or so per pack but are only 75mg each tablet so if that doesn't work take 2 twice per day. Worth trying, I have been taking esomeprazole for 15 years now and am finding that I hardly need them after taking ranitidine.  I found aloe vera stopped working after a while and to be honest the taste was awful and seemed to burn my stomach, but others find it great.

    GERD/Reflux is what is happening,  If you are in UK and cannot get to GP anytime soon, go to the supermarket and buy some NEXIUM, or RANITIDINE, give them a try and see what happens.  Burning in throat is classic symptom as are chest pain.
