Case Summary | GERD
| Condition | Internal Heartburn |
| Case Description | The reflux disease, as of right now the only thing we have tried to fix it is with Prilosec, 20mg once a day. I have gradually gotten worse as of now I can hardly eat anything without this horrifying heartburn and chest pain. I have to be really particular there are no fried foods, or acidic foods on my plate. I am currently scheduled for an EGD on February 9th of this year to hopefully figure out exactly how to fix this problem. |
