I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I'm a 35-year-old woman who's been dealing with lax LES since 2019. The first signs were a persistent cough, and after an endoscopy, they diagnosed me with this condition. I've been sleeping on an elevated bed or wedge pillow since then, but I'm still struggling with the symptoms. It feels like a nightmare. Is there any real treatment for this? Right now, I'm dealing with constant heartburn, a sour taste in my mouth, a heavy chest, and some breathing issues. It's like I'm experiencing these symptoms non-stop. What can I do?

My dad has been feeling nauseous and vomiting all day but his sonography and CT scan came back normal. His creatinine is 1.92 and endoscopy showed acid reflux. He has a pacemaker from 2014 and had bypass surgery in 2008. Right now his cardiologist has him on three meds for acid reflux Zofer, Rantac 300, and Pantocid. Is this the right treatment or should one of Rantac or Pantocid be stopped? Could there be a better option?

In this case, nausea and reflux may be related to kidney function or meds. Zofer (ondansetron) is okay short term. Only one PPI (Pantocid) is usually needed—consult for drug interaction review.
