Could be Gerd but sure does cause me to panic!

Gah:( have a had a pain under my left rib for 2 hours now..it's just there and antacids have not relived it. I haven't eaten too much today..two slices of pizza and then a turkey wrap. The pain started after the wrap.

Have noticed lately that I seem to have a lot of trapped gas (sorry) and an increase in gas as well. Haven't altered my diet other then excluding beans as they just cause too much pain. Maybe it's gas causing this too cause I haven't eaten enough? Sure don't feel like eating with this pain though.

But the pain causes me to panic. I feel like I can't breathe..Like there is a band around my ribs squeezing..mimicking a sign of a potential heart attack which really sends the panic into full blown attack.

Anyone with gerd that can relate? Or advise that this is gerd??

Also have a raspy feel in my throat but I'm not sure if that us my allergies (which is a whole other pile of anxiety as well)...

you need to see a gastroenterologist.

i can relate to the pain. i've had a hiatal hernia with reflux for nearly 50 years. back then rolaids was the best you could get. now they have alot of amazing drugs to take care of it. in my mind. the difference between my gerd pains and a heart attack is that good reflux drugs make the pains go away.

that said, if the pain doesn't go away, get to the er.

the raspy throat could be the reflux coming up in your throat.
