Pill induced esophagitis
So about 8 days ago I got my period and took Naproxen Sodium for the pain. I do this every month but silly me took them with minimal water and laid down too quickly resulting in severe chest pain/heartburn within the next 10 minutes. This went away after awhile but since then, every time I eat anything even liquids or super soft foods each time it passes through my chest area it gives me the worst pain ever as if someone is squeezing my heart. Once the food has passed through it’s generally okay again with a minus dull ache from irritation.
I have been taking nexium daily that my doctor prescribed for an OTC option, as well as gaviscon when needed but not feeling much relief. Has anyone had anything similar? How long did this last? I am seriously considering taking myself to the ER because not being able to eat or drink without this pain is killing me.
