I thought it was probably acid reflux - I'm so glad you had that experience last night, and got a diagnosis today. My hubby took Nexium, but not for acid reflux - he had an ulcer. It healed the ulcer and he has not had any more problems (five years ago).

I think Nexium is really good medicine. You won't need to take it forever though, it's the kind of medicine that you can stop after a while. Be sure to follow up with the ENT and find out when you can stop taking it.
