Bob/Peter,
I'm a victim of my symptoms. I get chest pain on exertion and if I'm
stressed/excited (getting a clunker snowmobile to start for instance) at all
other times I feel fine. No reflux, no taste (although I've had that before) no
indigestion of any kind, no heartburn...
So you go to the doc with chest pains and he wants to work up the chest. We
found nothing, zip, zero, but he considers some of that inconclusive because I
can't run on the treadmill for very long. Still it all improves with the
Prilosec (which works better than Protonix) so I'm assured it isn't a heart
issue. Doc wants to do his due diligence but I'm ready to scope the insides and
see whats going on.
Peter, I did try reducing my milk intake on the theory that it would maybe
lower the pain response. In fact it made no difference at all... If I had what
you'd call standard reflux symptoms I'd be more into it but as I don't...

Curt....
Get the GI consult and get an endoscopy so there is no doubt of what's going
on. I was flailing like you are, got the referral for the
super-fly-lesbian-gut-doctor, had the scope and found the Barrett's
Esophagus before it went all cancer on me. I do a protonix each morn and the
acid pumps are cut way back.
