Topics:Acid Reflux Symptoms

I have been having some chest discomfort sometimes it is pain. Mainly happens at night but not only when i lay down sometimes just sitting watching tv. Feels like there is something caught in my chest and lower throat. When I breathe it feels restricted or like someone is squeezing my esophogaus. Sometimes it feels like my heart "flutters" or "flops"

It doesn't go away when i drink fluids but does seem to ease up a little when i eat. I don't want to go to the E.R and pay all that money for them to say acid reflux, but I don't want to sit here and thikn it is acid reflux and it be more serious either what should I do?

i have the same thing, its is exactly whatyour saying. usually it goes away with some regular heartburn medication. but i agree with you; it can be really bothering sometimes, yet, not an ER sort of thing. just try the heartburn med. and see how it goes.

Check your blood pressure or see if is there any anxiety associated with your discomfort, if you have fibromalgia try to see if reumathism is associated.
