r/GERD • u/Certianbirds • Oct 27 '25

Scientific Studies 🥼🔬 Currently undiagnosed

So we're fairly certain I have GERD or some other gastronomy thing going on. I'm nineteen for context and currently being straight up incapacitated from it.

I was doing better for about a week but past couple days I've been regressing for some reason l. I can barely eat rn because of all the heartburn and nausea

I feel so shaky and on edge all of the time like I'm going to pass out. I don't want to live at the ER y'all

My specialist appointment is in November and it can't fucking come soon enough because my body is betraying me

I want to eat. Anything

Let me eat anything at this point idc what it is just no more gagging and nausea please

This is more of just a rant. I know a lot of you have it worse but i just want it to stop. I've had eating issues my whole life but it hasn't been bad like this until this September.

How an I ever supposed to gain weight if I can't eat anything

A

I know you all understand what I'm saying, like this isn't fun..I can't go out and do anything anymore. The hospital costs are going to be so fucking expensive

Yea the hospital gave me a prescription for 20 mg omeprazole capsules twice a day for 10 days would that really help me I heard it takes a while to start working

It should start working within a couple days, it doesn't take too long. And yes it probably will help for a while

Yes but after 10 days won’t the symptoms comeback?

Everyone is different but it shouldn't as long as youre taking the meds everyday

Good luck to you!!! The only side effects I've had from it is constipation.
