Wisconsin female patient,Canadian Pharmacy Online Recommends Heartburn Patients for Immediate Help Articles Susan Schneck advises other heartburn patients not to delay as long as she did.  Check with your doctor and take generic Nexium Canada

"In the evening and especially after lying down to go to sleep, I would invariably experience heartburn," Schneck said. "It was a burning. Not exactly nausea, but that same type of upward sensation, only with that burning. Like you'd had a hot drink or really, really spicy food. And once it started, it wouldn't go away." 

"I kind of knew, 'Oh, it's heartburn.' It never occurred to me it could be something worse," she said. "It also never occurred to me it could be something I could fix." 

"I'd never done anything but take Tums," she said. "I took two Tums a day, at least. Pretty much every day I experienced symptoms, and every day I had to take Tums for them." That is, to buy Nexium cheap

"I realized, 'Geez, I shouldn't have let this go untreated for so long,'" Schneck recalled. 

"I just went to my primary care doctor and told her what I'd been told," Schneck said. "She put me on a two-week trial of Nexium (a proton pump inhibitor), and it was amazing. I had relief from the first pill on. I didn't have heartburn that afternoon, for the first time in I don't know how long." 

"As soon as I lost the first 50 pounds, my symptoms really started going down," Schneck said. 

"I would say I'm symptom-free now, all but maybe one day a month," she said. 

"I can't believe I suffered from that every day for so long and never thought it was something worth treating, worth going to the doctor for," she said. 

She also stressed out that you can always count on Canadian drugs online  if you have immediate needs for meds. 

Heartburn, also known as pyrosis, cardialgia, or acid indigestion is a burning sensation in the chest, just behind the breastbone or in the epigastrium, the upper central abdomen. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. 

Heartburn is usually associated with regurgitation of gastric acid (gastric reflux) which is the major symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It however may also be a symptom of ischemic heart disease, though this is true for only 0.6% of those experiencing heartburn. 

The terms dyspepsia and indigestion are often used interchangeably with heartburn, though some sources emphasize a distinction. Dyspepsia is defined as a combination of epigastric pain and heartburn. Heartburn is commonly used interchangeably with gastroesophageal reflux disease rather than just to describe a symptom of burning in one's chest. 

Cardiac and esophageal causes may share similar symptoms as these two structures have the same nerve supply. 

Cardiac disease is one of the first conditions that must be excluded in patients with unexplained chest pain given that patients with chest pain related to GERD cannot be distinguished from those with chest pain due to cardiac conditions. As many as 30% of chest pain patients undergoing cardiac catheterization have findings which do not account for their chest discomfort, and are often defined as having "atypical chest pain" or chest pain of undetermined origin. According to data recorded in several studies based on ambulatory pH and pressure monitoring, it is estimated that 25% to 50% of these patients have evidence of abnormal GERD.
