Thank you for your response. I have done plenty of reading on the condition. I'll feel better after I have the upper GI done. I had never really suffered from heartburn until recently. I started back in May with the feeling of something stuck in my throat. Then a month or so later i had some burning in my chest and throat and some discomfort in my chest. That's when I went to see my doc. He gave me the Nexium because I wanted to try meds before GI. But then I decided to go ahead and schedule the test. The nexium helped me some. Help the feeling of something in my throat right away but I still had some burning in chest and discomfort. I'm also trying some natural remedies hoping something will work. After I have the test I'm going to talk to my doctor about possibly trying some natural remedies without the meds and see how I do.
Btw...i am a healthy person who weighs 127 and exercises regularly and I have always tried to eat fairly healthy. I think i was eating too much dark chocolate and had some stress going on for a while. That could have triggered the condition. I have cut out all caffeine and spicy foods.
