Have a lab test done on Helicobacter pilory ( http://www.helico.com/ ) the guy that discovered it won the Medicine Nobel Prize last year. ( http://nobelprize.org/medicine/laureates/2005/index.html )
In a nutshell, for ages it was believed that no organism could live in the stomach due to the acidity levels in it, hence, most of the "Chronic Heartburn" were treated with the wrong medications: diet changes, antiacids, etc.
It turns out, this bacteria is WAY too common, it's now estimated that as many as 50% of the population has it without knowing it. It irritates the gastric mucose (as it's mechanism of living there) and the byproduct of it is the heartburn. In non-treated, older patients, this constant irrititation can lead to stomach cancer, so this is not to be taken lightly.
I went through a lot of pain last year with this thing, once it is diagnosed all it takes is a week of the correct antibiotics treatment. Symptoms are exactly those: Heartburn, either chronic or comes and goes.

I have GERD and it sucks so bad. Nexium works well.
Ive had chest pains before where it hurts to breathe a bit. I wonder if that was considerd heart burn? But it couldnt be traced to foods I had eaten. Is this only immediately following eating something that would cause heartburn?
does coffee/caffeine cause it?
ive woken up with it before and it toook a few hours to die down. i never took a tums though.

No smurfy is right,
Side effects(noun) which affects(verb) spelling.
Mr. Stilleto, you just plain wrong, an affect is not an effect in this case

Yup, I know
but people often describe depressed people has having a flat facial affect, which may be a side effect of a benzodiazepine that effects a flaccid muscular response as a result of the drug effects but it basically affects the mood~ giving rise to the affect noted.
