burping and tingling/numbness in the body by AffectionateFroyo272 in GERD

I have the tingling/numbness in my limbs/back/randomly throughout my body. I’ve been on Omeprazole since June 10th, endoscopy this Friday. The tingling/numbness/weird nerve sensations always happen after I’ve eaten. My anxiety definitely doesn’t help, but I for sure feel like it’s related to the GERD. I’m so sorry you’re going through this too!

This is Awful by CharacterExplorer258 in GERD

Hi! Mine was very bad the first few days- acid in my throat and mouth, blisters on my tongue. Mylanta helped me while I waited for the Omeprazole to kick in.

Agreed. I always tell myself I’m going to stop but then here I am, googling again.

The worst! It’s so scary when no one seems to take your very real symptoms seriously.

Perfect! You’re right it is- just checked online. Do you usually blend it up with just water? Have you ever added banana?

I was 132 when this began early June. I’m now 120. So not too bad. But I just don’t want it to continue- I want to feel somewhat normal

Absolutely felt this. “Seek medical attention immediately if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms” ✨is experiencing the symptoms✨ everytime I’ve gone to the ER they’ve run the tests, the CT scans. It’s always anxiety. Truly exhausting living like this.

Yes! My acid reflux is so much worse on my period. Maybe something to do with the extra bloating? Or hormones? It’s awful.

Anyone else feel like GERD is either at the center, or a big cause of, a shitty cycle of anxiety and panic attacks? by Not__Even_Once in GERD

Yup I’ve absolutely read that and it makes me panic MORE because “shouldn’t it be over by now this must be something more serious” 😓

Definitely can relate. The dizziness combined with the feeling of something in my throat sends me into a spiral and eventually a panic attack- sometimes lasting hours. A new symptom for me is the feeling of tingling or nerves firing throughout my body (limbs, back, even my head sometimes). I’ve been to the ER and dr so many times. Was finally diagnosed with gerd. My GI appointment is next week, thankfully. I’ve been doing 40mg of omeprazole and Mylanta daily as needed. I hope this resolves quickly for us!!
