I've been diagnosed with gerd and it's really bad and I have heartburn and chest pains everyday it gets worse when I eat. I just want to know if anyone else on here has gerd/acid reflux and how do you deal with it. This just started 2 weeks ago so I don't know how to feel about it. My doctor prescribed medication that helps a little but not a lot. I can't help to feel sad and scared that I'm gonna die from a heart attack. Which is making my chest pains worse I don't know how to be calm about it, but I do need to calm down
