Yes i know this could go in the health section of the forum....
My GERD is literally choking me. My neck spasms have my neck looking like a wrestler on roids.
18mg doesn't seem to high but when i vape alot my GERD kicks in full gear. I'm down to unflavored 100%VG.
Anyone have anything like this?? My breathing almost feels like an asthma attack coming on. This has me very bummed as i don't want to stop vaping...
Thanks

Dano,
Commencing 1973, after original surgeries on internal injuries in '69 post air crash in VN, I have had 11 surgeries for ulcers and esophageal repairs since. I have GERD within the definition here:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does that, more or less, define your situation? If so get medical help stat!, now!! If you perforate the left gastric artery you can hemorrhage internally to death in under 4 minutes. I nearly have, twice.
The condition can be quite deadly but can be effectively treated.
Do consume more water with vaping, good advice.
DO NOT USE CIDER VINEGAR, sorry to shout, Hell!! it is acid, you already have too much and you're going to have to effectively control it with something that really works or you could end up pushing it to peroration or maybe esophageal cancer. Probably something like Prilosac, an H2 receptor blocker will be prescribed. Plain old antiacids will probably not work very well, if at all.
For godsakes go see a doctor soon, ok?
I'm just an old semi-retired engineer/attorney not doctor, but I have over 40 years with this damned disease, guess I'm lucky. I have 20% of my stomach left and have 5 feet less of the upper part of small intestine. Nutrient assimilation is poor. Used to weigh 190-205 at 6'2", now struggle to maintain 135 to 140 on nearly baby food, low acid, no chili roja o verde, no pasta and marinara, nothing exciting, just gray blotter food. Bleah! Oh, no booze, zip, nada. I used to love WT 101.
Go to a doctor. Take care of yourself.
End of sermon. Sorry, just care.
