Horrible acid reflux
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm feeling horrible with this constant acid reflux.
I will be getting a endoscopy in a few weeks but I've been dealing with this for so long now and the medications the doctor has put me on haven't been working. I'm so sick of feeling sick

I feel sick cant eat and constant burning. I was put on omeprazole but got palpitations and headaches on them. Its just awful. Ive been in perimenopause eight years and im totally worn out with all the symptoms. Im due another endoscopy in june I have to have them yearly to check on the polyp.
Its just a nightmare I feel for you I really do.
Really hope you get some relief soon hun. Good luck with your endoscopy x

The burning feeling in my stomach and like inflammation. I feel it mostly on my upper left side of my stomach and below my left breast. I get this dull ache and it spreads to my chest, back and shoulder blades.
I start feeling so anxious and panicky thinking what it could be. It feels like I've been dealing with this for ever.

ive had a bottle of gaviscon since yesterday. Nothing is working. I've had bad bouts of this in perimenopause before but this is the worst yet. Im on an AD mirtazapine and am beginning to wonder if its making my stomach worse. Ive been on it a year. Ive had a horrible Christmas. This peri stuff robs you of your joy. X

It has gotten gradually worse and I can't wait to get the endoscopy done already.

I have to get it done already because I can't keep feeling this way. I know there's something there that's causing it. I feel it on my upper left side. I hate thinking everything I eat will give me heartburn.

Maybe you could try that for a week. Its no easy cos wheat is everywhere but for me at least its better than suffering from acid reflux.
Good luck

Can you give some guidance on how to do that . Like what foods should I avoid. Would you suggest what foods will help too?
Thank you for your response.

Potatoes and rice are fine as are all fruit, veg, fish and meat. And did I mention chocolate

I had this really nasty for about 2 years. I tried proton pump inhibitors but they didn't stop it. Maybe I had it a little less whilst taking them. I really didn't like that they can affect bone density especially as menopause also does that.
I did a lot of reading about it and treated it with powdered ginger 30 minutes before food. I think that you can buy capsules but I just put some in a roll up paper twisted it up and swallowed one or two with water.
I also made a lot of ginger tea (peel and finely slice fresh ginger and steep in boiling water) and drank it through the day. If it was really bad half a teaspoon of bicarb in a glass of water sorts it out quickly as well.
This was the last two years of peri the very last year was the worst. It is one of the things that did get better after my last period I'm pleased to say and now I only get it very occasionally.
Hope yours soon stops as well.
Hope this helps.

I did drink it fairly regularly and also the powdered ginger before meals. I think it had a better effect on the reflux than lansoprazol and much better for you.
