LRCW Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 in the ER and I could use some prayers please. Thank you Will pray you feel better soon.
SportsGuy41017 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 I have horrible acid reflux that wakes me up at times where I can't breath for a very short time. The heat feeling in my throat is horrible, and this is one of the worse. BP was 201/197, now down to 146/106. Just felt like I couldn't swallow, or if I coughed that it felt like I wasn't able to breath for awhile. THIS is about the only thing that scares the heck out of me

Just felt like I couldn't swallow, or if I coughed that it felt like I wasn't able to breath for awhile. THIS is about the only thing that scares the heck out of me Hopefully you're on the mend. I had acid reflux on a regular basis for years but it never felt "heart attack-ish". Used to self-medicate with Arm & Hammer baking soda and water. Nasty, but it usually did the trick. For whatever reason, I haven't had reflux in probably 10 or 12 years now.
SportsGuy41017 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Are you on medication for this SG? Yes. But the Dr in the ER is giving me a prescription for something much stronger
mcpapa Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 What is a proton pump inhibitor? Proton-pump inhibitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Protonix is one of them.
mcpapa Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 In short, a medication that reduces stomach acid. Only reason I knew about Protonix is that among other things, I had a tear in the esophagus a while back as well as ulcers, and that's what was prescribed.
SportsGuy41017 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Protonix?yes, that is what the DR just put me on
mcpapa Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 yes, that is what the DR just put me on Just call me Dr. papa.:thumb:
