It's been a while.. Here's an update, could be better :/

Hi guys how have you been? It's been about a 5 weeks since I posted here and I figured I'd give an updat for anyone who wants to hear.. In that time I got an endoscopy done in which the GI said I have a lot of irritation in my esophagus from acid reflux. He said that's more then likely the cause of the "pains and aches" in my heart area. (Since the cardiologist said everything was healthy with my heart.) I'm taking 40mg of omeprazole and another antacid medicine at night I forgot the name. But I guess it seems to work however here and there I'll still feel my throat "closing up" or like a knot in my throat..

Lately though I've been getting this weird tingling feeling in my left arm that comes and goes. It doesn't hurt, it just feels weird and at times scares the crap out of me :(
Oh, and my right side of my jaw/neck seems to be getting tight and tense. My doc said I might be grinding my teeth at night and that's why it feels tight sometimes. I was also reading it can be from anxiety/stress... I also feel a lot of random twitches everywhere. The worst/creepiest one is in my chest by my heart. I can't tell wether it's my heart it chest muscle but it freaks me out, man this sucks. But yeah, that's where I stand today. I got a couple appointments coming up this week, I will keep you guys posted. Thanks for hearing me out. Goodnight and God bless!

Hi Jd and thanks for the update.:)

Mostly good news...yay on the cardio report, new meds and upcoming appointments. Hopefully you will get the remaining answers and help that you need as a result!

Keep up the work on your coping skills to manage the physical symptoms still challenging you!

Peace and progress and talk to you soon.:)

S.C.

I used to take Omeprazole and that is a really powerful PPI and there are side effects associated with the medication. It really cleared up my reflux but I would also have some of the side effects that you are describing. It got to be too much and I started taking Zantac instead which is not as intense but I'm still having some side effects but they are not as bad.

Good Luck.

Hey guys thanks for the positive reinforcement. I really appreciate it. I think I'm starting to get health anxiety or something because everything's starting to bother me and scare me. I have a doctors appointment with a new doctor Thursday and a cardiologist appointment Friday. I will keep you guys updated

I'm only 22 man this is so annoying and stressful I hate thinking Imma die soon :(
