Heartburn? Tonsillitis?

Probs heart burn/ reflux

shouldIbecrossaboutthis · 12/07/2012 08:29

but it doesn't hurt in my chest, can it still be heartburn? Will gaviscon fix it?

Flisspaps, not tonsilitis as I get that a lot. It's further back in my throat, like where the food goes. I also have some white and yellow streaks at the back of my throat.

It's really uncomfortable and making me feel v nauseous.

White and yellow streaks and a pain in your throat? See the GP - if it is heartburn they can prescribe disgusting Gaviscon.

Yes, you don't always get chest pain with heartburn (I don't) - give gaviscon a go :)

Heartburn/reflux. Gaviscon or peptac, great stuff. I lived on the stuff!! Try sleeping slightly sat up too, stops it flowing upwards quite so much

Definitely sounds like heartburn/acid reflux. I'm 33 weeks and suffering badly with it this time. I can't stomach gaviscon so am going through packets of extra strong mints!

I have been drinking gaviscon though Sad as dp said was probably reflux. I went to see nurse today and she said my oesophagus is a mess from acid and has given me omeprazole, bit worried about taking it though. Has anyone else?

I did when pregnant with my DS and it was a miracle cure! I'd spent a fortune on gaviscon which didn't really work at all and eventually went to the doctor well in to my pregnancy and got given that. One tablet a day I think it was and no more problems. Can't recommend it highly enough. Give it a go!

I took it at 2p and the pain went away, I was thinking, "bloody hell this is amazing". But now it's back and I've been sick twice. GRRRR!
