I started taking Nexium yesterday to see if it will help any before scheduling an appointment with the GI doctor. I know the first thing the physician will want to put me on is protonix which shouldn’t be used long term nor do I feel fixes the underlying problem. I’m young, exercise daily, eat healthy and there’s just no reason I should be having acid reflux “all of the sudden” - so strange!!

@haleynicole1223 - Sometimes it does just happen overnight. There can be many reasons for dyspnea and when your body reaches its optimal stress point it fights back. It makes me nervous that you are taking a medication on your own that changes the chemical acidity of your body, along with changing in your diet, stressing your body with heavyweights,... Something is off-balance, even if you are young.

There comes a point when your body reacts and pushes back if it's too much of a good thing. Perhaps you are stretching yourself too much? What do you think?
