I am still having pain the same way and same area near my heart after I eat anything..pain is about a 5 and is a continuous one until food passes all the way thru me. or drink anything same as last week when i had the heart attack.. Now its back to trial and error try and figure why i am still haveing this pain after stent number 8 last week.Surgeon said he thinks i am having acid reflux.. I disagree now trying nexium.I see no relief yet.. If you have acid reflux  P  O please tell me what your symptoms were and where it was in your body? thanks, Wendy

I had to take Nexium PO for 6 mos, but never had a problem.  I've read that some people need to try different products before they find their perfect remedy.

Heart attack?  I've been gone for a long time but recognize you!  Hope all is well!!

 

I do not have issues with acid reflux post op.

I have reflux post op and even though I take medication regularly for it,when i have break thru acid,it feels like a heart attack to me.

 

I will get pain in my jaw and down the sides of my neck and on into my chest. I have had a cardiac cath and there is nothing wrong with my heart.

 

When i have this pain,i take an extra Carafate or prilosec and it goes away. it is entirely possible that it is acid for you,too. good luck. you might have to try several different meds,take more often,or increase the dosage. Be sure you are taking the Nexium regularly:it is not the kind of med you can take "occasionally" and get relief.

Yea , had another heart attack Dec. 22nd  and had stent number 8 put in..almost didn't pull through this time, i didnt have any nitro around so the pain was real bad i was immobile. surgeon said my artery was 100 % blocked and all black and dead inside. whatever that means. i would be dead right now if my daughter wasn't here with me to call 911. Anyway i am  haveing the  exact same pain just not as strong as the heart attack one was. i  see my cardiologist Monday...
