As I've mentioned before , I'm fairly new to the world of GERD , having only been diagnosed with it in the last year. I've only been on Zantac for a couple months now and it's working OK for me. However, I'm about a 5 year veteran of panic attacks brought on by the anxiety that gas pain and esophageal spasms render. I've found a great "on-call nurse" that I speak with at Swedish Hospital here in Seattle from time to time when I'm panicking and can't get to sleep. I hadn't slept soundly for about 2 weeks just recently and she first recommended a warm bath or shower. That worked pretty well but it was the over-the-counter little med that she told me about that did the trick. Benadryl. I took just one and was getting drowsy in no time. I also noticed that the spasms in my throat and chest went away. I had THE most sound sleep I've had in over two weeks!! Worked like a miracle. God Bless her.
Hope this helps you , too.
Regards,
GW
