I've been searching for some help with my situation but can't seem to find anyone in a siilar boat.
For the past 5 weeks I've had a burning feeling deep in the centre of my right chest. It feels like it's half-way between my chest and my back. It comes on around 11am and stays all day.
My doctor put me on 60mg of Omeprazole a day as he thought it was heartburn. It did nothing. Nothing at all. It's not the same feeling as indigestion/acid reflux. I've had that when I was pregnant and this is different. It's not food or drink related, it's not worse when I lie down and it's pretty much every single day, all day. The only relief I get is when I'm asleep.
Occasionally I'll get one full day when the burning stops and I feel amazing ... and then the next day, BAM, it's back. It's really getting me down and my doctor just keeps saying I have heartburn but I KNOW it's not that.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
I do have health anxiety but this has been five weeks of hell and I'm not convinced it's just my anxiety causing this pain.
Thanks in advance.
None of the ppi worked for me - finally they diagnosed me with acid BILE reflux gastritis even though I never burb or have bile coming up
They put me on motilium and it helped
So sorry you are hoing through this. Maybe get a second opinion and get more tests done..I pray you find the solution.
Thanks
It's called bile ACID reflux gastritis
PPI just need more time to be effective, I spent a year on PPIs on daily basis until I fully recovered (Hopefully)
You mean you can actually recover from this?
How did you get off the ppi? Are you now ok?
I had very wrid symptoms that heartburn comes when I exert myself or run for an amount of time. Did a lot of heart tests (although I'm still young) and everything was fine. Did an endoscopy and it was also good. Then I realized that symptoms come back when I suddenly reduce my ppi from 40mg to 20mg hence it caused a confusion. So started decreasing it gradually from 40mg to 10mg over around 6 months. Now I feel okay and I got back to exercising with no symptoms.
Mmmmm are you thinking that was caused by taking the ppi?
No, I believe it was caused by two factors:
- not being patient enough until the medicine is effective.
- Reducing the dose suddenly by half
I took ppi for a month and got off and have been for about 2.5 weeks but few nights ago was awakened with horrendous burning pain. I had no idea there are repercussions with getting off a ppi.
Same happened to me at the beginning 
They call this "rebound", when acid starts building again and becomes worse than before
I never knew all of this. I am new to this acid reflux/globus..thanks for info...
Are you still taking the ppi
