I have eosinophilic esophagitis. A collection of white cells gather in my throat and cause it to swell shut. I have go no food allergies so we aren't sure why this keeps happening. I've had 3 egds this year.
I saw a different dr, urgent care, because of the pain and he did an exam (no hemrrhoids) he said I had fissures in my rectum that was the source of the bleeding. I had a ct that showed everything normal but my blood tests showed that I was bleeding from somewhere. A second ct showed some intestinal swelling. He wanted to call a surgeon right then but I felt that was moving too quickly. So I decided to see my specialist first.
