Ughh.....now the medicine has brought on the GERD
Yesterday I was finally feeling better. The stomach cramps were gone and the reflux was pretty much gone too. I have been careful what I eat also and I was only diagnosed with GERD late October 2005. The doc in the ER where I went to for the extreme pain put me on Protonix but at the time my insurance wouldnt approve it so I used Prilosec OTC. It helped and I took it for awhile then stopped since I was not having anymore problems. I never had another relapse until I last week and I told them I had GERD. Well last night I was able to get to bed feeling very confident I'd get some sleep since I had no sharp pains from the GERD. I woke up at 12 with very bad pains and went to lay on the couch keeping my head up like I should. I've had this pain since and its finally subsiding somewhat. I was very careful what I ate yesterday and then i started to suspect the Naproxen. I just read online that it will cause heartburn as well as asprin which is in the Excedrin that I take for the horrible headaches. I will be calling the dr when they open but right now Im pretty upset that all the meds I take to help I wont be able to take anymore and that they caused this horrible relapse

Ughh.....now the medicine has brought on the GERD
Hi,
I'm sorry you are suffering from GERD. I also have GERD and I know how you feel. We aren't alone. Millions of people suffer from GERD.
A trip to the ER for a horrible burning behind my breastbone was the first time I had ever heard of GERD. My doctor strongly suspected Naproxen as a possible beginning of my problem. I had been taking it for a herniated disk, and even though I ate before I took it, I just wasn't eating enough to protect my stomach. He explained to me that the medicine probably damaged the lining of my stomach and esophagitis. He prescribed Acifex and it worked for me. I also made sure I was taking Naproxen with a meal.
They haven't found a cure for GERD yet and in some cases, it's only a temporary issue. For those of us who don't have it temporarily, there are things that you can do to keep from aggravating it. Avoiding certain foods, some medications, and lying down after eating are a few.
I found GERD - FAQ and About GERD helpful to me in my quest for information.
I hope you find relief soon! Let us know what your doctor says!
s, Deb
