Chronic Chest Pain and Digestive Issues

I had symptoms of when I would eat certain things I would have what I call an episode. I would feel like I am dying. A feeling came over me that I just didn’t feel well. It would last for hours. I would belch and have to go to the bathroom during that time. Over time I had chronic chest pain due to whenever I ate not healthy foods. Ever since I went on Protonix my symptoms so much better and lessened. I didn’t get endoscopy to get diagnosed. Anyone experience same symptoms. I am into more natural remedies or tests.

wishing you all the best! Yeah same I wasn’t sure what was going on. Thought my heart was going to stop also. Been getting every test I can. I don’t know if it’s ulcer, IBS. I always thought it was my heart, but my cardiologist doesn’t seem to think so. But fried foods, sugary ones and processed high salt trigger it. I even thought it was high blood pressure, but when tested top number was 130 and no one was concerned about that either. I’m just really scared to get the endoscopy, but have to consider it to find out. Wish there were other tests to check for GERD.

Oh no. That’s not good. Maybe you can try Protonix. My doc wanted me to take it twice a day, but I didn’t want to. Sometimes I get like a dead leg and other things happen since been on med. some side effects, but better to deal with that then what I was experiencing.
