so for the past 4 months iv had acid reflux disease and the only meds that work for me are nexium but some time 4 weeks ago i got sick cuz of stress [family problems] anyways i stopped eating but i was still taking nexium lol on a empty stomache any how i got worse with doin that of course so i havent been on any pills for my acid reflux for almost a month now but barely today i feel like my neck is swollen and fat and i feel like my esophagus is in pain right now like its burning me super bad going down to my tummy and of course i have heart burn now my question is why is my neck feeling fat just feels like uncomfortable not in pain just feel ewwyy
i swear ima get back on my nexiums tomorrow but anything is that i have severe acid reflux so if i miss 1 day of a pill my throat acts up and its been almost a month with out meds whats wrong with my throat is it suppose to be feeling this way??
I totally empathize with you as I was diagnosed with GERD about 6 years ago. Totally can relate to the burning you are describing. It is horrible!! I had a hard time finding a med that would consistently work for me.
Your throat is burning because the acid in your stomach is going up your throat. This can be serious….lesions/erosions can form in the esophagus and over time the esophagus tissue can thin. So it isn’t anything to mess around with.
If you continue to have problems with acid reflux and nothing seems to work i would have them look at the functioning of your gallbladder. I recently found out that my acid reflux is the result of bile reflux because my gallbladder isn’t working at all. HOpefully that isn’t your case but just something to keep in mind…it took me SIX years of dealing with severe acid reflux to get this figured out. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone else!
Take care!
Try Gaviscon instead and follow the directions. Also try to elevate your upper chest and head when you are in bed. Use extra pillows so your head is above your stomach. You may want switch to a regular bed if you are sleeping on a waterbed or air mattress.

hi there,
I have heard really good things about aloeride, a natural aloe vera concentrate to help with digestive disorders like acid reflux. Have a look here if you are tired of non-natural treatments: http:bestaloevera.co.uk/go/digestion
