Yes. I do regurgitate stomach contents. It's just that the situation is so bad that I cannot sit or stand with food in my stomach that I have to lay down. I suspect that standing up puts weight on the ligaments that hold up stomach and if the esophagus and hernia is inflamed the law of gravity might irritate it. I have no other theory. My particular problem that has gotten me to this situation is that I get extremely hungry when laying down and the hunger is so intense that If I don't eat I would a) not sleep one minute b) get a bad migraine attack c) get an inflamed esophagus from acid Reflux coming from my empty stomach. This syndrome has held me hostage since my 20ies. I'm now 60. I have seen many doctors complaining about this since the 90ies but none warned me that I could have a reflux disease or develop a hernia from eating every night. I didn't know what a hernia or reflux was until 2014.
Now the damage is done. I tried Pepcid for 2, 5 days and the stomach got better but my neuroligal symptoms got a worse with headpressure and head jerking. Plus my Rosacea explodes, face flushes badly and I got 2 migraine attacks. Since I was on Prilosec and nexium when I got my brain damage or whatever it is I am superafraid to try any ppi again before I get some answers. But my stomach Hurst so bad I can't even be up 15 min. I have a contrast mri of brain and cervical spine on the 31st. I m trying to hold on but Its very hard.
What on earth did people do before pepcid and ppis??
Did they all just die of esophageal cancer and or pain? I need acid blockers so badly but I don't want to destroy my brain. I m already starting to have nerve damage in my right arm. If it was just tingling and pain and jerking and trembling then it could be any neuro motor disease or whatever. The strange thing though is the intense pressure. It's right in the back of my skull where the neck vertebrae goes into my skull. The more I m up and move my head the more intense the pressure and the ringing in my ears. Then when laying down my head jerks from side to side when I relax. It is not like some obscure nerv issue where your brain feels normal but your limbs do funny things. This is inside my brain and it can feel like I'm passing out just by closing my eyes! I'm super dizzy but I have no balance problems unless I tilt my head back then I fall backwards. There must be something wrong in the cranial nerve area but I don't know what.
