A member asked:

Have bad gerd. took my handful of supplements after dinner. a min later had intense pain in throat and very upper chest for a min. eso spasm?reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spasm: I think you might be correct with esophageal spasm. This can be secondary to the swallowing of the pills, many at same time, and if it passed fairly quickly, then that also sounds like a spasm. Drink plenty of water with next round of supplements and take one at a time!

Does Pepto (pink liquid) reduce acid reflux? My stomach is fine, I just feel acid in my lower neck. It gets this way when I'm having a bad GERD day.
