Quite strong symptoms for me, including varied heartburn and nausea, headaches, hot flashes, confusion. You name it.

  • hope them doc's find the ailment and cures it!

  • @sjuas690 oh this i know. once had a 6 hour brownie buzz that was super dooper. and i have a vaporizer which makes me a modern hippy i think?

  • Hey man. I've had GERD for 10 years now and it can be hell. I can't smoke or drink, and spicy foods are a rare treat. I hope you get set up with some meds and

    I wish you all the best.

  • @fattychunksings I would advise making brownies with your favorite herb rather than smoking them. Ok, it takes a little longer to kick in but it's much healthier.

  • aw smoke something other than tobacco... but hope youre ok man.

  • @sjuas690 Sorry - I don't mean to alarm you but you will have to get it looked at sooner rather that later.

  • I've got the same problem - easily treated with Omeprazole (gastro-restraint). Giving up cigarettes is probably a good idea however, with the medication you can still continue drinking.

    You will definitely need to get the meds as without it the stomach acid will eventually eat its way through your esophagus until it hits a major artery and then you bleed out in the most spectacular fashion (spurting red fountain from your mouth) until you die.

  • They will want to do an endoscopy, which the worst part of that for me is the stuff they spray in your mouth to numb the gag reflex. You will also be under twilight anesthesia most likely and will be fine. This test looks for ulcers all along the esophagus and stomach, hernias and GERD. Bad bouts with it are fucking scary because it actually does feel like you may be having an heart attack. There are several medications for this, though.

  • They may not have mentioned that the acid vapors will also damage the backs of your teeth, just fair warning ;)

    Good luck!!

  • It won't go smooth, unless you are used to swallow long objects ;) Sorry, couldn't resist.
