Have you had any luck with treatment? I certainly can relate to your situation. Recently the dull stomach pain I have been living with for about 2yrs has become worse and the more I read about GERD the more convinced I am that it is the culprit. My fear is that I have let it go untreated for far to long and now I am facing advanced symptoms which include dull almost bruising type pain around my belly button, and I find myself pressing on it with my hand to relieve the pain. It is worse at night and accompanied by a hacking dry cough almost all he time. I have recently come down with a terrible case of laryngitis and not surpisingly, it to is a symptom of GERD. Lastly, I have trouble swallowing my siliva when clearing my throat but no trouble swallowing food. I have been to the doctor, had ct scans, upper G.I's, and physical examinations, all proved negative and it seems as though my pcp is more concerned with my bP and choseterol than my presenting problem. Anyway I thought you my have found a successful treament assuming we have similar symptoms
