2 things...
1. Definitely take the Nexium! Nexium not only helps prevent future GERD episodes, it actually helps to repair damage in your esphogaul lining from the GERD. I have to take 2 a day my GERD is so bad.
2. If you can afford it, go to another doctor and get that endoscopy done! You shouldn't have problems with insurance to pay their share. I think it would be a good idea to have that done by a gastroenterologist or internal medicine dr. specializing in gastroenterelogy. It will tell you if there has been any damage or not, and if so, after taking the Nexium, it can help repair it. But I think you need to go to another Dr., one who will take the time to find out what is wrong rather than just saying "I don't know, but take this."
