Have GERD And Have Been On Lot Of Medication Which Finally Doesn't Work. All Test Done. What To Do?
I have GERD and my doctor has put me on several pills which are not working. I have been on nexitum, protonix, aciphex, dexilant and etc. What can I take? With this GERD I have lost 65 pounds in the last year and half. I don't use caffeine, pepermint, lemon, tomatoes,etc. I go to the EMD at least once a month because I think I am having a heart attack. I have had the test of the scope in my stomach 4 time, they have ex-ray my stomach twice and they say I have GERD. I need help !!! Please let me know what I can do I am in my 60's.
