I think it's just so new that I'm still figuring it out. I lost a very close relative recently and I think that is what caused it to flare up this bad for the first time. Does it ever go away?

I feel same that I am not on Protonix and has helped tremendously, but still have some triggers. Last one lasted about 2 hours as opposed to 6 or more hours off meds. Every time something happens I feel I may need to bring myself to hospital. No one understands what I am going through. Has taken a toll. I haven’t gotten diagnosis because need endoscopy and colonoscopy and won’t do it because of the meds given as one reason. I can’t take any meds with this condition because my breathing gets impaired and I do not want a tube down my throat because I know my breathing will be affected. I keep running into hurdles with the tests they want to do. Even a CT scan requires to drink liquid and I am scared of my reaction to it. Been very draining when symptoms hit and gets me down. Don’t know what to do.
