I am trying to adjust to having GERD. I get terrible chest pain that lasts hours. Or it will subside for awhile and then return. It is at the top of my chest so I assume it's esphogeal. Is this common to GERD? It doesn't matter what I eat, Pepcid helps only a little and GasX only a little. I get this about an hour after eating and then have it for hours. It is very sharp pain with lots of burping.View Thread
