Have Been Diagnosed For 5 Years And Experienced The Worst Heartburn I Have Ever Felt In My Life For The Last Few Days. It Won't Go Away.

Went to ER bc thought it was a heart attack. Gave me ER discharge papers that stated dx:bibasalar subsegmental atelectasis. What is that?

I’m on Nexium but researching that term says:
Bibasilar atelectasis is the collapse of the lower parts of both lungs. It most often affects people who have undergone major surgery with general anesthesia but can also be due to an obstruction, tumor, blood clot, or pressure change in the lungs.

Hey Kris and Julie, I too have been on 40 mg Nexium for 10 years. Too funny Kris, the endoscopy is second, and some camera. Haha. You’ll be out, you won’t know 🫣🥺 I just canceled my duo. I have throat issues swallowing and swollen saliva glands and my voice has depended. Also sore throat and vomiting forest green bile. I need to reschedule. Let me know how it goes and if you have a funny taste in your mouth. 🤪🤣

You both are good. I love my Nexium. I can tell if I don’t take it about 6 hours after I should.

Make sure to check in with a gastroenterologist to make sure there is nothing else wrong.
