I have annoying-as-crap acid reflux.
Wondering if anybody else has this problem and symptoms :/
its really annoying.
I used to take omeprazole but i always forget now...

Symptoms:
Heartburn
Nausea
Chest pain
Heart flutters
Dizziness (only after standing)
Lump in throat (Indigestion)
Throat sometimes 'clicks' when i swallow, usually only if nervous
Occasional stabbing pain right under my right ribcage
Burping a lot :P


I'm like a freaking huge hypochondriac so with every symptom I have I assume the worst... so if you guys have the same crap just reply because I like to know that I'm not alone

I have a few of the symptoms you do, but I am not taking meds for it. And I never will.

if you drink a lot of pop or sweets especially before bed then try cutting down and see if that helps ?

I've had a really bad case of it once. I was drinking too much pepsi and it made it hard for me to swallow anything be it water or food. Luckily it went away. My mum's got it perminently though.

That are certain foods that trigger more acid than others. Look up some of these (i.e. hard to digest veggies) and avoid them. An antiacid (like Tums) would also benefit you.

This is highly likely due to drinking acidic drinks/eating acidic foods. I used to suffer from this when I drank soda a lot. I had ALL of your symptoms. I suggest you stop drinking soda and other high acid drinks regularly.
