A member asked:

I have really bad heartburn. i have trouble breathing. pepcid ac and zantac (ranitidine) doesn't work.sometimes i get a stabbing feeling in my belly. what is it?

See your doctor: No telling! can be inflammation of the esophagus/stomach or other intestinal syndrome... Alcohol doesn't help... Too little information to even suggest a diagnosis. Best advice: don't second guess and have yourself checked out!
