Is my GERD getting worse?Ever since I smoked before, I feel like it's what caused me to have this GERD problem. It sucks really bad and hurts me. I don't feel like the Nexium is working ; it seems that the side effects is worse than the problem. I've been trying to eat what I want because I'm losing too much weight, and I'm trying to get it back. Lately, I been having headaches/migraines, fatigue!, backaches, stomach cramps and severe nausea. This all didn't occur at first. Is it getting worse? Can I possibly die? I'm only 17 and I don't know what to do. I'm scared.

Stop the acid blocker and start taking digestive enzyme supplements. You can purchase them from health food stores. It may take a few weeks to kick in but they work!
