Hi Hayley - I am glad your test results are good. I am going through the exact same thing as you. PPIs caused me chest pain which (for me) is really costochondritis - inflamation of the rib cage. If...
Hi Alex, It sounds like you have taken the right steps to get well by getting off meds. If they are not helping, it is best not to take them. I'm sorry you are going through this. Take care of...
