Do some people use prescription strength Prevacid ot Prilosec, or Nexium for years or just temporarily?I am 33. I have GERD. For the last three years I have had to take prescription strength Nexium. My doctor told me to get an endoscpoy but I just can't fathom the thought of someone sticking a tube down my throat. It sounds grotesque. I can't believe that's the only way they can test for stomach problems. Anyways, it is alright that I take Nexium permanently? Do any other patients do this?

When you have an endoscopy, you are out.....they give you Verced, which knocks you out (partially, as you are rousable).

Go for the endoscopy to find out of esophageal rings are affected, if erosion of esophagus has occurred, or if there is a visual reason for the reflux. You won't even be aware nor remember the procedure and something may be found........good or not so good!

There are people who take Nexium, Prilosec, etc for years without any major problems. If you have severe GERD, they do recommend you have an endoscopy performed. They will numb your throat when they do it.
