out of nowhere i started getting heartburn a little over a year ago. never having this before i didnt know what it was. it went on for about a 2 months before it started freaking me out. (thought i was having a heart attack every day
) went to the doctor to find out that i had a helicobacter pylori infection in my stomach
. i had to go on two different pill regiments to kill it. the first time didnt work, so i had to try more pills. i ended up having to take 18 pills a day for 2 weeks.
. oh but this wasnt the end. since i was stupid and let the reflux go on for so long, i had damage to my esophagus. because of that i was on Prevacid for quite a while. it finally went away, but i sometimes still get a little reflux.
moral of the story...if it doesnt stop, see a doctor ASAP.
