I'm new to this and it feels unbelievable at times. I just want to know if others are going through the same thing or if I need to get the dr to look into anything else in particular when I see the Dr Monday.

my symptoms have been rapid over the last 3 weeks. I had a couple nights of waking up with very upset stomach, that evolved into being jolted awake at night several times and myself thinking I had sleep apnea and that still exists but now for the last few days I have been getting pretty bad chest pain after eating and not it seems like I'm getting more of the chest pain and burning. Also I can barely eat any volume of food any longer and I also have nausea.

Does this sound like Gerd?

Other than Nausea, it sounds just like the symptoms I've been having, especially the being jolted awake at night. Somehow, by the grace of God, the lump in my throat that had been there for 3 days straight is now gone, and I have no chest pains at all. This is after not taking any meds last night other than my normal blood pressure meds. When I went to the doctor and described my symptoms, I always got 1 of 2 answers. Acid Reflux, or Anxiety. I'm sure they went hand in hand. Because of the burning you're having and the hard time sleeping, it's probably lead to a bit of anxiety which is probably causing the chest pain. I'd definitely mention these two options to your doctor. I hope they can give you some relief in your problems.

Yes, talk to your doctor about everything you're experiencing.
You might want to go ahead and raise the head of your bed 6-8 inches to help keep the reflux down at night.

Any issues with being unable to eat any decent volume of food any longer without pain and bloating? I can eat about half a yogurt or handful of dry cereal at a time. I tried egg whites tonight and am having issues with those too.

When my symptoms first started up again I could barely eat anything too. I lost 30 pounds in about a months time. It sounds like you have GERD. You'll need to get an endoscopy so they can tell what is going on in there. I thought I was having a heart attack when at my worse, it was actually that my esophagus was eroded.

I've lost 10 in 2 weeks so not happy with that. I'm hungry but just can' eat it. Seriously is there help that works with this?
