I began the heartburn problems in Jan. I started Nexium on Feb 3rd ( when I
had my heart checked out-it was fine) and it helped somewhat, but never went
away. After two months the Insurance wouldn't renew the Nexium and I used
combination of Nexium samples from the office and Tagamet. The symptoms just
changed over that time adding the swallowing problems. Finally saw the GI on July
1st , then the endoscopy yesterday. Dr. yesterday prescribed Nexium again and
said to return in 6 months. The Dr's office today had to talk to the
insurance company to get them to cover it.
