Hi Dan, I am not happy to read that your blood pressure goes up with a GERD attack, but I am happy to kinow that I am not the only one who this happens to. I have noticed that my b/p elevates to high...
Maybe someone can identify - for a while I have been feeling "warm" even when the air conditioning is low. I am wondering if this is a GERD or digestive disorder problem. I find it so annoying to be...
Just as the subject asks.....I am wondering if eating nuts can cause havoc on those of us who are GERD sufferers?...
I too experience weird feelings relating to palpitations and fast heart rate. This has been occuring for three years. Went for an EKG - showed nothing. Haven't pursued it any further, but I feel it's...
My cholesterol was high like 268. Last year it was 238. I'm over 50 - don't eat any fat because of stomach problems and I still have a high count. Very peculiar....
In addition to the digestive disorder, I found out my cholesterol is high. I was told to take Lipitor. I am wondering if anyone with acid problems / digestive disorders take Lipitor and have further...
Hi Joan......You are correct to assume that I am in NYC. The Folger's Coffee I a talking about is called "Simply Smooth". On the label it states it's gentle on your stomach. It does have caffeine in...
Just curious about that. I don't usually suffer from heartburn as I keep a rigid diet, free of anything that could trigger the pain, but I still wake up with that awful acid taste. Can reflux or any...
There is a way you can all go back to coffee. Folgers came out with a new coffee - can't remember the name right now but it's on the shelves right now (in NY.) It's supposed to be easy on the stomach...
Hi, All, thanks for your input. I have found that taking Gaviscon about an hour before bed produces way less acid so I don't wake up with that horrible acidic taste in my throat. I do use a wedge...
I have been taking magnesium and I don't want to say it worked totally but it certainly does help. What works for me is Gaviscon before bed....about an hour before.......and I haven't been waking up...
Thanks Jim for the advice that Trader Joe's may have low acid coffee. Actually I live in NY and there is a Traders five minutes from my home. I checked out my local supermarkets and there was no...
I am wondering if this only happens to me. Last night I awoke to strange feelings relating to acid and burping. But besides those problems I felt very warm. The air conditioning was on...I wasn't...
Searching on line for a low acid coffee there was one sight I kept coming up with. I don't know if I can mention the brand. Has anyone found a GOOD low acid coffee to drink? Boy, I miss my morning...
Rosequilts...so sorry to read that another one of us has suffered under the hands of a know it all doctor. I too didn't need the Atenolol (same category as Toprol). I had heart racing for a day or...
Over the years I have experienced slight GERD problems, but after a few months on a beta blocker, Atenolol, GERD became a major problem. I am blaming the GERD worsening because of this medication as...
I kind of think it's not but I'll put it out to you anyways. Besides having an acid problem (no diagnosis as I haven't had any testing) but do have some disorder most likely GERD related, I have been...
Thanks for your post. I went to the health food store today and bought some recommended items. I am very sensitive to drugs therefore I am going to try the suggested items. I am just about at my wits...
Too many nights of waking up with acid in my throat and many sleepless nights later, I'm trying to find a solution. Zantac caused weird side effects so I took Pepcid last night. A 10 mg which is the...
