Do I have acid reflux?

Ever since I have been taking pain medicines, the other day I was in the store and I had to take my medicine but I didnt have a drink, and so I swallowed it without a drink, and then it went down slowly and it kind of hurt.

Ever since then when I eat food, it feels like it goes down slowly in a lump, even if i take small bites and drink something, and then the top of my stomach near where my esophagus ends, there is sometimes a burning sensation. I have been taking Pepto, and it seems to work a little, but after about 10 minutes I keep feeling my food coming up at the bottom of my throat. What should I do?

    Sounds like you do but for the right help go to your doctor, he'll be able to prescribe the correct medicine and give you a proper diagnoses.

    Oh and cucumbers help A LOT! Cut out the peel first before you eat.
