I've been struggling with GERD since this past spring.

I have never had heartburn, just the inability to catch a full breath after eating, along with the feeling of trapped air right between my ribcage at the very bottom.

I went and saw my family doctor, gave her my symptoms, and she did some tests. She gave me a breathing test to check lung capacity, chest x-ray, and a test for H.Pylori. All came out ok.

She put me on Prilosec OTC. I started taking that and within 2 weeks, it had taken away my symptoms and everything was peachy.

Last week, the symptoms came back and it's getting back to the way it was before the medication.

I'd like some advice on what to do next. I'm thinking that I need to go get an endoscopy to make sure everything is kosher.

I'd like to hear some thoughts.
