I wasn't sure who you were posting that question to since it's was a string under my original question. In the past I was checked for GERD but not lately. I couldn't get the last GI to do anything. My PCP had sent me to an ENT Dr. who gave me a medication to see if my symptoms were medical in nature or stress related. He gave me Nexium and it didn't do a thing and I did take it as directed. This next GI I'm hoping will be able to confirm what that spasm type of feeling is related to. Heidi
