Jayne, I was diagnosed years ago with GERDs, recently it's gotten so bad, I am also on Nexxium 40mg, it seems to take the fire out of my heartburn but I am still having the reflux, my chest hurts so bad too, I have had the endoscopy, CAT scan, chest x rays, and blood tests, I've been to the cardiologists and they cannot find anything cardiac array, I am sorry for your discomfort but I am so thankful I am not the only person with this, I thought I was crazy. I got on here looking for answers and found your posts, I am so thankful that someone else verifies what I am experiencing. Thank you for posting.View Thread
