thank you for this assuring post
Again, I'm glad to be of help. We both need to hang in there. Sooner or later both of us are going to get to the cause of our ailments and get rid of them for good.
The fact you drank coffee and eat porridge could be th key to why coffee is a big trigger for reflux and heart burn and also porridge the milk could be the problem try having it made with just water also the fact it's liquid could make it s bit sloshy so it could be slipping up into your gullit I bet your full it's England's from so much heart burn I would go see your doctor and try some PPI medication just got s short time like a Month and also adress your diet cut out spicey foods coffee tomatoes no grecey foods and fizzy drinks drink water before a meal and don't eat food to hot and drinks let them cool down first
It's so difficult Laura.... I know exactly what you are feeling..go and see go and ask for ecg.. that should put your mind at rest.i totally have the same symptoms nearly everyday at some point.get up in mornin feelin ok then as day goes on symptoms start to kick in.sometimes not too bad sometimes not great.then go sleep at night and begin again.just keep telling myself it's not what I think it is.
Hi Stevieboy
I took myself to A&E on Friday night and had ECG, bloods and chest X-ray and all came back fine. Doctor said it's muscular and asked if I'd done any form of heavy lifting - I did lift some 5kg dumb bells the other week from work to my car and they were quite heavy (for me!!), but would this cause acid reflux and heartburn??
Saturday I had quite a good day with no pain atall and then Sunday I took my parents to the airport and had been lifting their cases in and out of my car and then boom!!! Chest pains and heartburn all day, could they be connected??
My dad suffers acid reflux and has diverticula and also has colon cancer 4 years ago so now I'm worried that it's that!!! My mind is all over the place because I can't seem to go through one day without any form of pain and it's so depressing
Hi Laura... anything could possibly cause your acid and heart burn.what did you eat??...even eating nothing can cause it.i use nexium. You probably not keen to use them but they work for me.dont take them everyday but three times a week maybe.they keep the acid at bay and allow me to concentrate on certain healthier foods. glad you had the ecg and put that thought to bed. My doc said I had a muscular prob too.... do we have the same doc. Haha.keep reading and get yourself eating more natural foods. .heinz baked beans are great. . Don't know if you are uk or USA but they are gluten free too.you also gotta try and tell yourself that it's not a heart attack or cancer or you will drive yourself nuts and make everything worse....
Heinzs baked beans are no good they have tomatoe sauce in the. That will corse reflux and heart burn
Hi Laura.
Any update on your situation. I’m asking for a friend. I hope you are better now. Thank you
