A member asked:

Hi doc, im having chest pain for quite a long time.im taking nexium (esomeprazole) 20mg twice a day as per my doc. im still having the chest pain.

Possible.: It's possible that you have gerd and the Nexium (esomeprazole) is not enough or that you have musculoskeletal chest pain and need a different medication. You could also have another less likely cause - best to see your doc.
