I would also suggest getting a spinal MRI as some of the symptoms you are experiencing could be due to lumbar or cervical spine abnormalities. And do drink lots of water. Watch your diet and exclude citrus and tomatoes, coffee and tea as these are GERD triggers. Peppermint is also a GERD trigger. Being overweight can exacerbate GERD symptoms so if this is an issue, try to keep your weight in the ideal range.

I agree you should see a gastroenterologist to get your digestive issues resolved. Something other than Nexium might be more helpful to your particular issue.

I hope you are soon feeling better. I'm sorry the docs you have seen so far have not been able to resolve your problems. Hopefully the next doc you see will find the answer.
