Hey... well I went to doctor last Wednesday I was a total nervous wreck they gave me ekg said that was fine I told her my symptoms & she kept telling me to relax and telling me it’s most likely acid reflux so she gave a prescription for omeprazole 20 mg and told me to take that for TIL I see her again on July 8 & if I’m still having the pain then she will refer me to GI... BUT Thats all she did! I started them the next day which was Thursday i was still feeling it as of yesterday.. I now have cut out my coffee that I have been drinking everyday for the past 20 years and drinking just water and trying to just eat healthy something I never did ! But I’m still walking around like a nervous wreck because until this feeling goes away I can’t stop thinking about it! Everyone thinks I’m just nuts but I know after reading all these stories on here I know I’m not alone makes me feel a lil better ... Thanks for asking 😊

I promise, it is reflux and you may need a stronger med. I spent a week at a heart hospital for severe chest vice like pain and jaw pain. Angiogram was great! If you are dizzy, clammy, out of breath, call an ambulance. It took a year before I didn’t flip out every time I had pain. But, I would say.....it’s just GERD and off I went. But I am having digestive issues that are freaking me out and I’m waiting so long to be seen.....tests.....yuck

That is verbatim what they said to me. It astounds me that they are willing to wait weeks while we sit here and worry every minute. The best thing I can say is that you're not alone. Knowing that other people have the same symptoms and are still ok also makes it better. Keep updating how things are going, and I will as well. Good luck.
