Yesterday, my son's partner and the mother of my 2 yr old grandson, spent most of the day in the hospital emergency room. She is 33 yrs old and morbidly obese. She had been complaining during the last week of constant heartburn. Yesterday morning she said she was dizzy. She is attending school to be a Medical Assistant, so she decided to go to school and have her blood pressure taken. Her blood pressure was on the high side for her, 150 over 120. One of the other students took her to the hospital. After a long day, they told her she had Acid Reflux and prescribed Protonix and Ativan, for anxity. She feels the dizzyness and fatigue she is feeling arn't related to the heartburn. I think it is possible, but I also think she is at great risk for a heart attack. Could prolonged heart burn cause dizzyness???
