Heartburn that just won't quit?


For about 2 years, I have had many stomach problems, such as heartburn and a delayed emptying stomach that has caused me a lot if discomfort. I have gone to a specialist and had an endoscopy, and they could not find anything abnormal than what was already said. They prescribed me Prilosec, which I have also been on for about a year and a half to two years. But, it seems like I still have symptoms. I have a lot of stress and have been dealing with obsessive compulsive disorder and also anxiety. Could my stress be causing my stomach problems?? I have heard this many times, but shouldn't the Prozac and Prilosec be covering this? i really dont want to go back to my gastro doc. thanks!

I think that you should have an upper GI with barium. This will show if you have Barrets esophagus. What you are describing sounds like GERD. The pyloris (muscle) at the junction of your stomach and esophagus is weak and is allowing acid to come into your esophagus. It could also be hiatal hernia. IF these are ruled out then yes it could be stress.

get your doctor to prescribe to you preavid- acid blocker, helps with ulcers, too.
