Indigestion 4 Days in a Row

[Anonymous]

I was diagnosed with GERD around the time I turned 40. I had a burning pain in my esophagus that sent me to urgent care. (the advice nurse at Kaiser freaked out and thought I was having a heart attack.) I have to take daily medication now and I have to be careful about eating certain things: caffeine, chocolate, tomatoes, among others. (and absolutely no smoking.) I rarely have issues now since starting the meds.
