Indigestion so bad- feels like a heart attack

I have never attributed it to not sleeping well. Makes sense, as I do suffer from insomnia quite often.

You need probiotics and digestive enzymes with every meal, to start off.

Then you can begin to deal with your multiple food allergies. An elimination diet won't help at all if your immune system is reacting to everything.

Once a day, after breakfast or dinner, take these:

50 mg Zinc
A quality Vitamin-B complex
Magnesium
Molybdenum
Sodium ascorbate (5,000 mg): best form of vitamin C

Take this every day for 3 months, then go bavk and get blood allergy-tested. Your sensitivities should drop a bit by then.

Keep going until you can see, by the test numbers, that your immune system is healed.

Keep up with the digestive enzymes and orobiotics, though, to make sure you don't relapse.

Half glass of whole milk helps me instantly.

Basic chemistry. Too much acid, you need a base.

Prilosec OTC...1 per day....problem solved !

Prilosec is a PPI drug.....short term use only.....prolong use prevents bones from absorbing calcium, increase risk of heart attack, and Chronic kidney disease....

Nerves seem to make it worse. Obviously I have not figured out a diet that works against this. Half the time I just skip meals to avoid the gut wrenching pain felt in my solar plexus and radiating around my heart/chest.

I have been told I have a food allergy to most foods. Spicy or plain- doesn't matter.

Help! Stressed out!

Sounds to me like you could have a hiatal hernia. I had indigestion so bad I thought I was having a heart attack.

Eat simple - no dairy, wheat, or refined sugars. Also, be careful with thick meat cuts like steak, pork, and chicken. Go with thin cuts from the deli if you need to eat meat.

Avoid caffeine and acid foods like tomato, grapefruit etc.

Stop eating 3 to 4 hours before bedtime.

Go to an allergist and get your blood tested, you may be ingesting foods you're allergic to and that will give you all sorts of issues and inflammation.

I've used baking soda, it works. Try to stay off the prescribed drugs, they have long term effects

Mylanta helps too in a pinch.

Oh, also I have this thing called a Hiatal-hernia, when I get symptoms like you describe, I eliminate that hernia (sort of air pocket) by drinking a half-can of carbonated anything fast and burb....if the pain goes away or subsides drink the rest of the can fast and burb your way to feeling great.

NO SHIT IT WORKS!

Wrong! I have GERD, have had it my whole life. Been taking one Prilosec per day for 41 years now. I'm 61 years old and healthy as a horse. No side affects from it at all!
