GERD
"I&#039;ve had extremely bad heartburn for several years. While I don&#039;t experience reflux the chest pain and throat/sinus pain are all consuming. I can no longer tolerate this pain. I&#039;ve been on a diet of mostly rice, applesauce, oatmeal, lean protein and an occasional veggie. Everything including water gives me heartburn all day/everyday.  It appears I have Nutcracker Esopgagus or esophageal spasms. Two weeks ago I received an esophageal Botox injection which is meant to relax the esophagus, thus reduce spasms. I&#039;ve experienced no relief. I had this same procedure six months ago and enjoyed nearly 3 months heartburn free!  I believe it&#039;s failed this time. I tried Prevacid 15mg OTC and experienced 25% improvement. Suggestions?"
