Hi friends

I am 28 yrs old man and been having Gerd since 2011, on and off, and wasn't taking any prescription, was just trying manage what I eat and drink, and it used to go away after a month or so, then two months ago I did drink some wine and vodka couple of nights and worst Gerd came back, am living painful life now, I hv difficulty in breathing, feeling pain in the esophagus and chest, and my middle waist looks swollen, or if it's quick fat I don't know, had to go to my Doctor and he gave me omeprazole 40mg once daily, I stopped going to the gym as well because few minutes after I start the exercise I feel horrible pain, can't even talk sometimes when the attack hits me. I am waiting now for the results for the H-pilori test and will undergo some other tests. I don't know if this is killing me!

Your experience is highly appreciated, thank you all.

      God Jennifer that sounds horrendous. I'm glad they've figured out what's up and they're going to opt for surgery, hope you feel better in the long run!
