A member asked:
Why is dexilant not taking away my mild, constant sensation of heartburn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EGD: Your gold standard test in this regard would be the EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) in which a GI doctor puts a camera down your throat while you're under sedation and looks for things like hiatal hernia (causes reflux), ulcers, gastritis and duodenitis. Reflux (esophagitis) doesn't have to burn to cause damage to the esophagus. This may be needed if you have refractory symptoms.
