Q: i been getting really bad heart burn and upper left side of stomach twitches some times and i have excessive burping this been going on for a 2 months doctor did a ct and said organ look fine and no obstruction in somtach i been takin protonix?

: Protonix can be helpful for heartburn but it can take a while for this to heal. A GI doctor can be helpful to treat these symptoms as well as to do an upper endoscopy to see if there is any damage to the stomach and/or esophagus that cannot be seen on a CT scan. So, see a GI doctor for the necessary testing, diagnosis and treatment. Good luck!
