So I have this GERD
After the constant chest and stomach pain, together with horrible sleepless night I have experience in the past few weeks, I have then decided to go to the nearest hospital in our place and have a medical check up, last Sunday morning.
I described to the doctor the pain I have experiencing in the past few weeks and without any test at all he says that I have GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease or GERD. The doctor says the constant chest pain I have experiencing was cause by gastric acid flowing from my stomach into my esophagus which injuring sensitive tissue that develops into pain on my chest. This was all ’cause by too much eating and also by not eating on time, which I admittedly did most of the time. I also complain the pain on my upper abdomen where the pain is pretty similar to ulcer, like the pain occurs immediately after I eat. But then he calm down me and correct my own diagnosis. Thank God it is not an ulcer. He says the pain was also incorporated to the GERD. BUT, he warned me that if it left untreated it will lead to ulcer.
The doctor prescribes me some medications to be taken for two weeks and if after that said period the pains still occur he advises me to go back for further check up. I just hope that thru the medicine he prescribed, I can get through with this pain ’cause I don’t want to go back further checkup anymore. Not until I have enough money on me again cause the whole check up and medicine makes me broke. Lol.
