  Sorry to hear it. You seem to have neglected it till it became so troublesome. Don’t worry, it will resolve with Prilosec and antacids. It may take a couple of days at the most. You have to take bland food and plenty of water till it goes away.
  Stay away from spicy food and alcohol.

  Get back with your Dr., the medication may not be working for you. In the meantime eat soft bland foods.

  You should eat more protein. It helps with acid.

  Have you seen a doctor or have you self diagnosed?Could be hiatal hernia with gurd or one of many other gastro problems.Does food and drink get “stuck” so your unable to swallow?Do you sometimes have to spit out because you have taken too large a sip of liquid?Do you feel like your gonna choke or die because your intake wont go down and you cant breathe?Could be many problems besides acid reflux.Finally ,if you did go to a DR. please allow the prilosec time to do its work,and take much smaller bites and sips and chew more thoroughly.Good luck

  Get yourself checked for a duodenum ulcer. My dad had the same symtoms and that was the cause.

  I am not a doctor, so either way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)!

  Three part answer: information, what not to do, and what to do!

  INFORMATION!!!!!!
  I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case with hereditary), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, Stress, Anxiety or can be Hereditary

  The good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.

  G.E.R.D. is caused by too much acid being created in your stomach. This can lead to or cause ulcers, esophagus damage, heartburn and/or damage in the mouth. . Other symptoms that can be found in a few cases are dizziness, tingling in limbs, numbness of Limbs, Chest/Back pain focused on the left side (in most cases), and shortness/difficulty breathing.

  WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!
  In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:

  Fatty Foods
  Citrus Foods
  Foods That Contain Grease
  Fried Foods
  Chocolate (including any Coco)
  Caffeine
  Smoking
  Alcohol
  Tomato Based Products
  Lactose
  Roughage (Berries and Nuts)
  Onions

  WHAT TO DO!!!!
  The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.
  On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.
  On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point.

  I would also look to putting Cinnamon and Ginger in you diet, they have been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less.
