[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 652102, member: 3493"] Add me to the list of women who have gone to the hospital for chest pains and wound up having acid reflux. The chest pain was SO bad I thought I was dying... I actually wound up having a hiatal hernia and since that was repaired the acid reflux is pretty much gone. I also had a chronic cough when I had acid reflux and I have never smoked, As for the pantepopozol (sic?), I have a sort of funny story. My aunt, who died 14 months ago at age 92, was taken to the hospital about a year before her death because she was complaining of chest pain. Her blood work tested positive for marijuana! I was freaking out because my friend who worked for me as an aide to my aunt smoked occasionally, though I didn't think she'd do it around my aunt or share it with her. The hospital was threatening to call APS and told me to wait in the lounge. While I was sitting there, I picked up all of the medical pamphlets to read and, sure enough, one of them said that pantepropzol or whatever can cause a false positive for pot, especially in the elderly. So be careful, even though you're young! Does your insurance require a referral before you can see a specialist? Does your doctor have a covering physician? Back in the day, the pediatrician I used at the time refused to give me an ENT referral for Difficult Child, who was 6 months old and on his 4th or 5th ear infection. I waited till my doctor was out and called the covering doctor, who gave me the referral. I had the appointment done and over before the pediatrician was back from his vacation.
