I have had long GERD attacks at least 5 or 6 times, each lasting 3 to 6 months. I cannot take the meds usually prescribed -too many side effects plus some destroy your bones. The attacks always start with a week or so of burping then I begin to feel pain and heaviness in my chest followed by the inability to eat many foods. I often take a bite of something only to spit it out. My GERD attacks have usually been brought on by extreme stress. I have permanent injury to my vocals now and can no longer sing without passion, I really miss singing. Can’t even talk to much in any one day. One unusual effect I have each episode is a big increase in bad temper/anger. I call it “Acid within and acid without.” I’m wondering if others get this also?
