Hi Mamasan, thanks for your reply and reassurance. I have had reflux for a long time now, it wasn't until 2 years ago that I finally sought treatment but when they scoped me then they found stage 2 erosive esophagitis, at least no Barretts at that time. I used to use pepcid ac alot in the past but it does not help me. I am using zantac along with the prilosec otc but tonight I have no relief. I did not even eat much today so I am sure stress is causing the increase in acid but I wish the PPI would make it stop because the more acid I feel, the more I worry I have baretts or worse. My matress is elevated 6 inches. Right now my throat is burning and sore and my heartburn is back in full force. And the worst problem of all is dysphagia, I can only do applesauce, water right now and even those make me choke. I just wish I could get my Nexium. That healed my esophagus and stopped my reflux before. Thank you again :)
