I'm taking Nexium but the last three nights my chest has hurt so badly I feel like it's going to explode. I only get heart burn every once in a while... so three nights in a row is a lot. I've been up all night trying to make it go away. I hit my chest sometimes it hurts so badly!

Should I be worried? I have two gastric ulcers and I'm not sure if they can be dangerous. Whenever I get 'new' pains I get worried. Chest pain isn't new, but this severity and frequency is!

Thanks.

Meowese,

I am not a Doctor, but from my own experience I have had severe chest pain where the only thing I can do is clench my chest and pace the floor. I thought it had to do with my GERD and hiatal hernia. I went to the doctor and after having a hipa scan, my gallbladder is working at 20% and I am having surgery to remove it on Sept.29th. It turns out that the chest pain is caused from my gallbladder not working. I hope the doctor finds out what your chest pain is from and you feel better soon.

I think anytime you have a change in your sx such as you have described you should see your Physician as it may be something other then your Heartburn/GERD.

Please keep us posted.
