I'm getting this new episode figured out (I think). Just when you feel as if you're managing - something new pops up. The severe chest pain I was experiencing is from esophageal spasms (hiatal hernia was discovered as well). Now that I know this is not cardiac related it is easier for me to stay calm. The pain was really severe and very scary. I've adjusted my diet and I'm trying to avoid triggers but sometimes it just randomly happens - especially while prone. I've been able to calm the situation with papaya. I'm sure my doc's will scoff at that (he has prescribed Aciphex which is wildly expensive). So, onward - Thanks for your input and reassurance.
