I relate to how you're feeling, but sadly I don't have any answers. I have had these feelings for almost a year now. I too, drink herb tea mainly for the warming sensation. Gaviscon does nothing for me. I was so afraid this morning when I woke, because my heart was skipping and fluttering from the pressure (if it is pressure?) inside my chest and gullett. My cat was in bed with me and I cried into his fur and told him I was dying (usually poor hubby hears this, but he was away) My whole upper body hurts and my spine too. I'm on double dose Nexium with Ranitidine at night and the symptoms seem to worsen each day. I keep thinking that they missed a cancer on the scope, or that I will turn out to have pancreatic cancer. I can't accept these awful symptoms can be gerd because they are non-stop.
